ALPB Online Forum - Suspicions Confirmed.
ALC President David W. Preus Died at Age 99

 David Preus, on the far right, died August 1, 2021, at the age of 99.
Cousin Jack Preus is on the far left.



Preus craved attention. He came to an LCA district conference, before the merger, and spoke to a lot of the pastors informally. When he was left stranded with no one to talk to, he looked lost. Note the lopsided, ambiguous smile.


The ALPB Online Forum features a curious collection of grumpy old men, who get even pricklier when described. 

They confirmed their nettlesome nature when someone started a discussion on "Lutheran Levity," which turned into a hissy fight with no theme or substance. Picture this - the entire directory was filled with "Lutheran Levity," but the contributions showed no levity at all.

Apparently someone realized they sounded like a bad day at the bingo parlor, so they switched to "Lutheran Creationists."

One frequent contributor is Floyd Luther Stolzenburg's co-pastor in Columbus.


 Herb Chilstrom became the first ELCA Bishop in 1987, and the Left took complete control of the leadership and assets. David Preus would have been just as bad.
