Con Swervatives - The Game Plan

 "WELS invited me to speak to them and the LCMS? Maybe they will learn something."
ELCA Pastor Jodi Hogue.

The Con

WELS makes a game out of lying, which makes Mark and Avoid Jeske the ideal prop for inter-Lutheran fellowship. The game begins with Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary's GA, their abusive initiation rite, perhaps called HB now, but the same malarkey. Tough guys play sympathetic guides. The opposite side plays tough. Due to their constant emphasis on brainless conformity, the Mordor personality is easy to spot. Mordor graduates delight in lying and winking at their friends. "Oh, we drink work so hard at Mequon, boozing studying constantly!" Wink. And it starts in college, the initiation and the studying. Some future pastors study so hard they can barely walk back to the dorm.

We ran out of men to serve communion.

First of all, the major players (ELCA-WELS-ELS-CLC sic) are con artists all. "No!" shrieks one of the conswervatives, "Liz Eaton was a radical from the start!" Not so fast - I carefully read her reaction, as a district bishop, to the 2009 convention vote. It was more like this - "Nothing has changed. Nobody has to change, and there will be no punishment of those who disagree with the vote for gay ordination and marriage. So just take a deep breath and relax." So condescending - and a gigantic con job. Liz became the ELCA Presiding Bishop and no prisoners were taken from that point on.

The 2009 vote decimated ELCA - or did it? Never neglect the money side of the con job. Every closed parish, every divided parish, every tiny breakaway - they had one thing in common - leaving the money and property behind for the radicals to enjoy and spend as they wish. I doubt whether any tears fell on Eaton's Excel spread-sheets.

 Jeske Registration Form.

 Notice the lack of synodical description. There could not be a WELS pastor in this lady's guild, could there?

Missouri and the Little Sect on the Prairie are just as persistent in the con-job as WELS. Missouri teaches a history about itself that never happened. The Little Sect pretends purer than WELS while obeying all orders from Milwaukee.

 It keeps changing, so Jeske keeps selling his solutions.

The Swerve to the Left

Each sect runs its own confidence game, but they have one thing is common - swerve to the Left!

Whatever ELCA is devouring, WELS-ELS-LCMS-CLC are tasting. Yes, they aim the stink-eye at ELCA in conversation. But they are always inching - if not trotting - in same direction. They all have their trotters in the trough of Thrivent, so they are snout-to-snout with the ELCA clergy who wrecked whatever was left of their merger after 22 years of rank apostasy (1987-2009).

The teeny synods have already adopted women's ordination in practice, enjoying small doses at Jeske carnivals and at their own official gatherings. Gay marriage may be over the top right now, but gay ordination has never been scorned. The players may be moved around a bit, but they know how to network. The opponents of these trends form a circle and start shooting, every change they get. Foxes and weather-vanes make it to the top, claiming, "I have to quiet now, but later I will fix everything if you make me synod president. But for now I must be allowed to infiltrate the inner circles."

 "Be thankful we stepped in to keep from being swayed by ELCA."

How Close Was Hurricane Laura to Us? 8-27-2020

Yesterday felt like the storm was going to break on us, with eerie quiet, high humidity temperatures.

The radar from last night shows how Laura turned and headed East. No rain fell.

 There is no substitute for rain, when growing roses.

"We Ran Out of Catholics" - Mark Jeske

Wisconsin Lutheran College invited predator Archbishop Weakland to give public lectures at their college, assisted by priests he knew. WELS lied about it and said it was a "private luncheon."

Mark and Avoid Jeske will substitute for Roman Catholic Vice-President Mike Pence at the commencement of the college.

Jeske's address will be, "We Ran Out of Catholics." He is ideal as an emergency substitute, because no one really knows what he believes.

 "We ran out of Catholics," Jeske explained to a group of MLC students trying desperately to stay awake.

 Jeske's Change or Die! business brings LCMS-WELS-ELCA clergy together so they can learn ecumenism from one another.

 ELCA Pastor Heidi Neumark was invited to speak at Mark Jeske's Change or Die! wind machine, featuring WELS, ELCA, LCMS, and women's ordination. Readers do not need to guess what ELCA women pastors stand for, starting with abortion on demand.
