| WELS is too small to count, getting smaller. Olson quasi-semi-lied about earning a coveted D.Min. at Fuller Seminary. The WELS protocol is to lie about the truth and slander anyone who questions the liar. |
The American Spectator has an unsurprising survey of Protestant decline - Tom Raabe - Mainline Protestantism Is Heading Toward Its Grave A membership skewing older and older makes for a dismal future.
"Half of the Episcopal membership is over 65 years old; as for the Presbyterians, 58 percent are 56 or older (one-third are over 70)."
Here are some facts about the Lutherans -
"Unlike my church, the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS), which recently paid a consultant big bucks to do a survey and recommend that the answer to the church’s declining membership problem was to encourage its members to have more babies. I’ll keep you posted on how that’s working."
ELCA declined 39% from 2000 to 2020.
LCMS declined by 27% in the same time period. Is that a win for Matt the Fatt at the Purple Palace?
Amish double in numbers every 20 years. They are now bigger in number than the Disciples of Christ, which is plummeting.

| The insiders grabbed the money and bragged to each other about Church Growth, but lied about it to the hoi polloi. |
ELCA-WELS-LCMS together have promoted Fuller's Church Growth Movement - irony at its best - since 1977, and even before that precious date. WELS bragged about the 1977 TELL date because that was their coming out party. Let's just say - all three sects have squandered millions of dollars for the last 50 years.
The hilarious truth is that WELS was wolfing down and gobbling up every scrap of Church Growth materials, sending as many as possible to Pasadena, and screaming at the few who dared to object. They never went to Fuller, but always quoted Fuller, and pounced on anyone literate enough to ask questions about the obvious gusher coming from their hellish treasure-chest.

| C. Peter Wagner was one of the key "brains" at Fuller. He was a miracle making Pentecostal magician in his mind, but he certainly told a truth ELCA-LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC (sic) could not fathom. |
