Ski, Glende, and Katy went to every false teacher's conference, from gay activist Andy Stanley's to Dirt. The CORE copied Groeschel verbatim and used all his gimmicks and graphics too - with permission and huzzahs from the DP. The lawyer who objected to all this plagiarism? - he became Anathema Sit. |
Two WELS Pastors and Four Meritless Lawsuits | Light from Light:
The Booze Brothers and Their Bar Ministry
"Recently, two WELS Pastors, Tim Glende and James Skorzewski, and two of their staff members filed four almost identical lawsuits against a WELS layman, Jonathan Donnan, a former member of their congregation. Specifically, they asked a secular court to issue four restraining orders, ordering Jonathan Donnan to stop “harassing” them.
In the courthouse lobby before the first case was heard, a local attorney who handles a lot of cases in that court (and who had absolutely no connection to this case) looked at the court’s calender, and said, “When you see four restraining order petitions against one person, then usually that person did something extremely bad, or it’s a bunch of bullies ganging up on someone.” Jonathan’s wife, Mara, who was sitting nearby, piped up and said, “It’s the second one. It’s a bunch of bullies ganging up on someone.”"

Joe Jewell It’s a CoWo group in Appleton housed in a trendy (or used to be trendy I suppose) bar building. Very expensive endeavor, started up literally within sight of I think two existing WELS congregations.
Site of a very public controversy where the congregation (two pastors and two other staff members) sued a member/sexual-harassment victim’s family for speaking out. That would certainly give me pause, personally, about being involved there or recommending it to my family (though I’m sure others would have a different view). To keep this non-gossipy, I’ll simply cite the public record here on this well-known issue:

That’s it in a nutshell!
