The Lutherans of today are not different from the Left Wing of politics, using the same quotas and radicalism to maintain control.

Censorship
The first principle is censorship. No one is allowed to disagree with Holy Mother Sect. That is official in the LCMS, which celebrated the Reformation's 500th this way - teaching doctrine without official approval is a fatal offense.
WELS-ELS did not need an official statement, since that has been policy for many decades.
A small faction gets things approved and the slightest murmur against the latest folly is a grave sin.

Quota System
The quota system, often portrayed as diversity, is a toxic solution to staff problems - but it works. People insist on a certain style of person nominated to a board, praising that person's rock-ribbed conservatism and harmlessness. Once on that board, the allies work to add more. David Valleskey (WELS) is a good example, a new idea - a professor of evangelism - but really Church Growth Evangelical Ecumenism. An ecumenist loves every denomination except his own.
Soon Valleskey has his old buddy Bivens teaching at the seminary. The entire Mordor faculty is Church Growth and UOJ, truly united in folly. It took a few decades, but it worked there and everywhere else in Lutherdom.
The quota system soon drives out the old majority or replaces them one by one. This has worked wonders in the universities of America, the school boards, and of course - the seminaries. Once the seminaries are thoroughly infected, the graduates are ordained only if they are on board this social revolution.

Hate Them Out - The Group Stink-Eye
WELS, Missouri, the ELS, and the micro-minis practice this method with rare finesse. I wrote up the reactions of the United Lutheran Seminary (ELCA) that botched their hiring of a new president, a woman who once advocated heterosexuality. They pounded her into the ground like a tent stake, even though she was 99.9% on their side.
The value of this group stink-eye can be appreciated by all. No one feels free to express any opinion outside the newly established norm. Stalinism is alive and well in Lutherdom, from the crumbling halls of United Luther Seminary to the entire father-son faculty at Bethany Lutheran Seminary (ELS). The few with decent positions can control them by keeping out any literate person who might be a threat to them. How else to explain the great Lutheran books from the past compared to the infrequent and tedious bloviations of the present?

| Use this expression when the wrong person is nominated. It worked for CFW Walther - and he got his clone F. Pieper elected by rigging the votes. All for a good cause. |
