Ranking the Rank Discussion Boreds

 


I was trying to figure out which is the worst Lutheran discussion site. I realized how bad they were in their own unique, boring, cowardly ways.

ALPBODB

 ELCA Pastor Steve Tibbets had 10,000 posts published on ALPBODB before his arrest.


The American Lutheran Publicity Bureau Online Discussion Board has to be the worst in its own special way, starting with its name, long enough to be a government agency. If they do not want to discuss something significant, they bury it in a sudden burst of posts about nothing in particular. Avoidance is their true nature. When a member of the group, with 10,000 posts, was arrested and jailed, no one thought to mention it. However, I have seen them reach 30 pages about nothing in particular. No matter what the topic, they drift off in many directions at once. Rolf Preus loves to argue with people and keeps the boredom at peak levels.

LutherQuest


Do not look now, but Dr. Robert Preus quoted this in Justification and Rome, and his sons failed to comprehend this repudiation of Objective (Faithless) Justification.

LutherQuest, still looking for Luther and not finding him, also hosts Rolf Preus. He protects the family name and self-publishing business. The Preus inter-synodical team members are the only clan with their own private publishing company, perhaps merely to keep all their cousins' names straight. One or two LQ members actually post interesting, factual, referenced material. However, several anonymous sources yak endlessly. If they keep practicing their self-involvement, they could move up to ALPB Online Discussion Board debates, perfect for inducing deep sleep and mild nightmares.

Christian News, aka Calvinist News, has a unique place in yellow journalism. Herman and Grace Otten played both sides of many debates, eager to keep everyone buying the tabloid. Some realize the utter hypocrisy of LCMS politics, starting with Jack Preus (Rolf's uncle). CN was perfect for running for synod president but became hemlock each time the CN lover was elected to that office - 

  • Jack Preus, 
  • Ralph Bohlmann, 
  • Al Barry, 
  • Gerald Kieschnick, 
  • Matt the Fatt Harrison. 

I was threatened by WELS for writing hundreds of CN articles, but WELS liked to send their own articles and get them published in CN. The CLC had the same policy, Menton screaming at me for publishing in CN, but sending bunches there - written by himself. CLC pastors did the same without the shouting. The former CLC president is now a regular writer for Hale's CN, a great example of highly polished hypocrisy. The CLC is one big, miserable, inbred family. Their college game is (seriously, folks) - "How am I related to you?" Not "Am I" but "How am I?"

Pastor Hair-Gel has a blog, but no one reads it. His Facebook rants were so bad, he erased them seconds later (but I copied them even faster).

BedFast Steadfast Lutherans


This horrible waste of repeat-after-me dogmatics includes Rolf Preus and some of his relatives too. I scanned the list of authors and found an endless number of Objective (Faithless) Justification fans listed. When one of the baby Preus kids published a series of blurbs about faithless Justification, the mob indulged in the normal combination of personal attacks and resistance to Justification and Rome, written by Robert Preus and edited - but no longer quoted - by Rolf and Dan Preus. Blacklisting one's father must be a lowpoint in the Preus family inter-synodical accomplishments.


The only requirements for publishing in CN are 1) Promoting Fuller Seminary nonsense and Objective (Faithless) Justification.

PS - Intrepid Lutherans

This was a typical WELS operation, where people were gathered to discuss the issues and scattered by Chief Two-Face. The last post was in 2016, and the blog is still online.

The WELS Church Growth sorority has been quietly retiring for years. Their goals of total apostasy and servile blasphemy have been met - Management by Objectives - guided by their Father Below.

Jay Webber passed along the ELS nickname for Mordor - The Sausage Factory - where identical pork sausage is ground out annually.
