Greeters are trained to let the right people in. "From the Milwaukee area? Are you related to me?" Better - "How are you related to me?" |
"Knocked once, tried to tell them I'd been there
Door slammed, hospitality's thin there
Wonder just what's going on in there."
WELS Iaunched its highly polished program to keep from disappearing altogether. They will open the front door of their congregations and lock the back door.
Tears of laughter dripped down onto my keyboard as I read the details. I routinely get letters from people who will never step into a WELS congregation again. They have tried several and find the same unrepentant abuse and obstinate false doctrine in each one, protected by the glowering eye of the District President and his stooges.
"Saw an eyeball peeping through a smoky cloud behind the green door
When I said "Joe sent me"
Someone laughed out loud behind the green door
All I want to do is join the WELSy crowd behind the green door."
Question WELS-LCMS about their false doctrine and watch the fangs flash and the slaver drip to the ground. |
Paraphrased for a reason: These folks are completely unaware of how meanly they shunned the innocent when they should have supported them, rather than "smoothing over" a situation and covering up the deeds of a grooming, predator, a so-called shepherd.
Like the ELS, they use the word "grace" but deny the Means of Grace. Like Missouri and ELCA, WELS hammers their precious Universal Objective Justification as if they are the sole guardians of that monstrosity. With so little scholarship in their sect, WELS leaders seldom consider that their Barth/Kirschbaum dogma learned at Fuller is the same Universalism embraced by the mainline apostates.
WELS has no Gospel to teach, so what is the draw? Everything can be obtained at any Attritional Church (Rev. Ima Lupine, DMin, Fuller Seminary) or any mainline parish (Rev. Ura Sucker, DMin, Fuller Seminary). The dogma of the Fuller elite, whether "conservative" Lutheran or wacky-left Lutheran is Barth/Kirschbaum's anti-Biblical, anti-Trinity, anti-Luther Marxism.
Karl was a pea-brain: he needed his Commie mistress Charlotte to do his research and intellectual writing. She managed him for the Movement and accepted slave wages. |
