Alec Satin asked about the dishonesty of LCMS history, which began with CFW Walther forbidding any early histories from being published.
Most of the truth is published in Zion on the Mississippi, but the hypnotized sheep and wolves repeat the slander that Zion was written "by a disgruntled LCMS pastor." The Stephan memoir - In Search of Religious Freedom - is illuminating but fails to disclose the big story - Bishop Stephan's syphilis, passing it onto his wife, his children, and the young women of his cult. The Walther circle "saw nothing" and said nothing until the opportune time, when they "suddenly heard" about the adultery and organized a mob to threaten, rob, and kidnap the bishop. Are they not the three steps of church discipline? After all, Walther was an expert in pastoral theology.
On the behavior side, the Perryville founders have nothing to boast about. They were felons who had the advantage of taking over an area from the Mormons and being their own law, telling their own stories, as they still do today. Their current historians point at the chest that held the bishop's gold, implying he needed robbing, but they do not admit to the carefully organized riot, the theft of 120 acres, the clothes, the books, and personal possessions seized.

Worst of all, Walther constructed a line of succession so that his false doctrine would be protected, taught, and marketed as the purest Christian doctrine ever. He made sure that F. Pieper, newly ordained, would replace him and replicate his style and dogma.
Walther took the Calvinist-Pietistic Easter absolution and expanded it into election without faith, denouncing anyone who did not agree with him. What qualified him as the theologian of the Synodical Conference? His rationalistic BA from Leipzig? His lack of Biblical languages? His publications from within his own sect?
Notice that the modern "conservative" Lutheran synods love to appoint the new, the inept, and the hopelessly compromised to positions of power. Thus they rise up as one to defend every error, to hide every felony, to rob the widows and orphans so they can paint a layer of gild on Holy Mother Sect. Amen.
