I can't run no more
with that lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me.
Leonard Cohen, Anthem lyrics
Has Thrivent cut all its ties with Planned Parenthood? They were matching funds years ago with PP. So-called conservative Lutherans made a fuss for a few weeks and then went back with their trotters in the trough, eager for more money.
I will erase this post when Thrivent puts on the Internet and mails to its customers their policy against funding Planned Parenthood and ELCA (the relgious wing of Planned Parenthood).
Mark Jeske is on the board of Thrivent and gets about $140,000 a year for that part-time job. He loves to sponsor ELCA-WELS-LCMS ministers conferences, with ELCA ministers helping to teach, and Mark starring, one way or t'other.
Jeske would be a good person to get Thrivent and ELCA to stop promoting abortion on demand.
And Lutherans, please stop begging for Thrivent loot for your pro-life groups. That is like begging the KKK for financial support for diversity training.

| Lemme see here - ELCA woman minister Erin Morris, WELS Church and Change founder Steve Witte, LCMS etc. Yes, this has all the marks of Jeske management. |
