Mark Jeske Delivers WELS-ELS-LCMS to Sodom and Gomorrah in October: The Angela Merkel Gambit

Eddie Money's "Shakin" describes Angela Merkel's mysterious symptoms.

In elementary school - post WWII - and in outdoor games, we always played American soldiers versus the Germans in WWII. Ken's father was a veteran, so we learned German insults like Schweinhund. We knew more about Hitler than any Japanese leader.

The West supposedly defeated Germany because we were against National Socialism - the Nazi Party. That is what we imagined. Hitler controlled most of England for a time, and we defeated his forces, a priority in the war.

After the war, thanks to America's role in diplomacy, Europe formed its European Union and Angel Merkel became the leader. Once again, a German socialist controls most of Europe, this time without Blitzkrieg and other unpleasantries. She more difficult to dislodge because no battles were fought to put her in place. Instead, a lot of quiet surrenders made that happen.

Some thought Jeske had a morganatic marriage with Missouri, but instead he was moving down to ELCA. He never had to face an election, because everyone surrendered to his posse of millionaires.

I remember when Jeske's organization began hogging the WELS and LCMS websites. WELS actually promoted Jeske trinkets and provided registration for his Church and Money-Changer conferences - on their own website (what's yours is mine?). When WELS Pastor Steve Spencer denied this poaching of bandwidth, relying on the lying SP (Gurgle, the one who was going to pull the plug on amalgamation if it cost too much). I posted the actual links - several times.

The LCMS also featured Jeske's own multi-synod business on its website. I recall WELS pastors murmuring about SRO status in Missouri crossing the boundaries of fellowship in WELS.

But that was just a step in Jeske's ambitions. Who better to represent and unite ELCA-WELS-ELS-LCMS? Jeske tapped into Thrivent and the Siebert Foundation funds at the same time.

Like Delilah, Jeske has delivered the Samson of "conservative" Lutherdom into the hands of ELCA's Philistines, its Sodom and Gomorrah.

ELCA's Presiding Bishop Liz Eaton is another Angela Merkel - she is not going away soon. Liz makes sure the agenda that elected her is the one that prevails in every appointment. She defeated Mark Hanson, an activist who did not abandon the male leadership. Ever since her election, each major appointment (seminary and college presidents) seems to fall upon women - Luther Seminary, Wartburg Seminary, Trinity Seminary, United Seminary, and some colleges.

No one seems to notice this, but all the male bios list their marital status, including those two bishops who are married to men. But when the ladies become bishops or seminary presidents - well - none of your business. Silence. Asking would be impertinent.

More power has come from Eaton's tenure and overwhelming re-election, her influence since 2013, and the progress she has made.  Are any staff-members for ELCA districts less than fanatical about following her lead? That would lead to firing and a divine call to Peoria, Illinois or Gary, Indiana.

 Rev. Heidi Neumark is a famous activist in ELCA.

 ELCA's Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton defeated Mark Hanson in 2013 to add clout to the 2009 capitulation.

Jeske's Sodom and Gomorrah Conference on October 10 is proof of his victories in forcing the ELCA agenda on WELS-LCMS-ELS, without a whimper from the followers of Walther, who was just as opportunistic.

1. ELCA's speaker is a veteran lady activist pastor, while the other lady ELCA pastor is a young activist. The goal? - to make all the congregations and church units Reconciled in Christ, the SG equivalent of sanctuary cities and states. Many ELCA congregations, seminaries, districts, and colleges are enrolled in RIC.
2. Two staffers for ELCA bishops are on the steerage committee. No one should need a background check to figure out where they slither.
3. The LCMS representatives are probably keen to be in the middle, neither offending their homies nor the ELCA activists. 
4. The WELS frauds are the most fun of all. Their names keep popping up. Parlow and Becker are both WELS pastors and Church Growth DMins, their ties going back to the founding and coddling of Church and Change.

 DMin John Parlow studied under Andy Stanley and worshiped with Andy, Ski, Glende, and other malcontents at the Babtist Drive Conference.

 WELS carefully selects apostates for professors - the less education they have, the better.
