Lawrence Otto Olson, DMin Fuller Seminary - His Book List Consists of - Two Non-Lutheran Ministers: David Valleskey (Fuller) and John Maxwell (Methodist)

Strange bedfellows - does an extreme makeover from Adam Mueller include makeup, a dress, and darling shoes?

 Imagine this life-changing event, actually speaking to the man who ruined Protestant Christianity and becoming a part of this great movement.

 I heard John Maxwell speak. What a bag of wind he is, mouthing platitudes from the big business of motivational speaking. He certifies Maxwellian zombies to be just like him, but Olson lacks the spark. Larry did motivate the student body to pray for him - to take the call to India.

 I heard Maxwell live - a $500 value!, they said.

 Oh, John, really? I need to make a pilgrimage to your Hall of Prophecy.

 Schone - best dressed on campus.

WELS Jeff Shone. Always a Bold Fashion Statement for the Sect

One can almost hear the alb straining, stressing,
ready to burst open.

No one does WELS fashion statements
better than Jeff Schone.

Jeff Schone looks normal when enough of the dean is
covered up and hidden away.

Only Jeff Schone could make a plaid skirt
look hideous.

According to my sources,
Mark Schroeder has banned all these videos.
Be of good cheer, Shower Boy,
you can gain 100 pounds and be dean one day.

Does anyone wonder why WELS has recurring problems with abuse,
when they love to mimic degraded behavior?

  Amber Noel Birner A long response warrants a long response. I'm working on a response over time as I am taking time to think on certain aspects and how to respond.
  
  I would appreciate it if I could comment on other things in the group and contribute without being berated each time about a different thread.

  Joe Jewell Look, I will be quite frank: your views on most of the issues you've chosen to comment on are either quite outside anything resembling Confessional Lutheran orthodoxy or passive-aggressively in support of the same. I don't begrudge you your views, to be clear, but this is not the group for those discussions. This is in particular a group for the discussion of Confessional Lutheran theology and practice, particularly as it pertains to the Wisconsin Synod and other similar church bodies. That is not to say that nothing controversial is allowed--far from it. But it's not as if you're arguing for (say) the ELS position on students administering sacraments in non-emergency situations vs. the WELS position. 
  
  When you requested membership in this group, you specifically said that you "merely ask to clear up something from a recent post", which was the topic of that thread that you made, and also to "be open to discussion and being talked to" and to keep "anti-WELS sentiment or etc. out of the group". Admirable statements, but we're going to hold you to them. You've had over a week to gather your thoughts to respond to Daniel Baker and the moderators of this group are united in asking that your next post made in this group do that.

  Amber Noel Birner I am however providing another view on topics, and for instance all of the things I stated in my comment here are not specifically WELS or anti-WELS but they are still pertinent to the topic at hand.
  
  If I seem passive aggressive I apologize, but other things may catch my eye that I can conjure up a quick response to, especially a topic like this where knowledge of the issue is key, whether or not the person with that knowledge agrees with the position, because without knowledge it makes one side seem far more foolish than they are.
  
  You are right, I have had time, in terms of time between then and now. However, I do have many other things going that have been taking up my time and leading to either lack of time at some points, and disinterest at others. 
  
  I would rather take my time with a response than rush anything because of impatience.
  
  And Jeff, that's simply a rude and uncalled for comment. I'm trying to write out a well thought-out response, and the comment of "using my MLC degree" is certainly not in the right heart.
  
  I will write the response in my time with my schedule and prioritizing my life.

Another Cheerful Reader Responds - After Going Bonkers on the WELS Discussions

Pat Loroff Yes, I am an MLC student.  And now that I've told you that, you're going to start ignoring everything I say because of your view that all MLC-educated people are morons, right?

GJ - No, you are proving it. There are good students. They are kicked out or pushed out or give up in disgust.

Pat Loroff There's obviously no way that anyone is ever going to win in an argument with you about these things.  You have a major superiority complex.  You flaunt your own views about doctrinal differences and practices as if they were the only source of true doctrine.  You constantly lie about people and institutions and events that you know nothing about.  You never cite sources for stories on your blog (i.e. MLC closing in the near future).  Even if this isn't your intent, it's the way you come across on your blog.  Many people share my view on this.  I still don't fully understand why you hate the WELS so much, why you lump everything in the WELS together under your banner of apostasy and false doctrine.  I really do pity you, Dr. Jackson.  If all you can do with your life is scour the internet for anything that says anything about or against the WELS, then you must lead a lonely life indeed.

But Jeff Schone's Martin Luther College (WELS) Loved Hosting an Abortion Advocate on Its Campus

The tent in the back at the very start says "MLC KNIGHTS" - yes, this was filmed on the sacred campus of holy Martin Luther College, New Ulm - WELS.

MLC staff and students were used in addition to MLC equipment. Dr. Nolte and the AV Department were even given the day off class to "work" the presentations in the auditorium and setup the sound equipment and stage outside for this Roman Catholic pro-abortion Obama cabinet member.

Regina's platform is borrowed from the MLC choir.

Surgeon General: Making health fun is the key

September 30, 2012

By Josh Moniz - Staff Writer (jmoniz@nujournal.com) , The Journal

  

NEW ULM - Making people "joyful" and excited about healthy activities was the focus of Saturday's speech by U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin during the New Ulm Area Day of Play held at Martin Luther College.

The Day of Play event is part of a world-wide event started by the children's channel Nickelodeon to get kids outside and away from televisions through fun activities. Martin Luther College hosted the event on its grounds in partnership with Hearts Beat Back: The Heart of New Ulm Project and the New Ulm Medical Center. Several hundred children turned out Saturday to participate in activities ranging from an inflatable wall climb to dancing with The Narren to hula hoops.

This year's event was organized around the visit by the U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin. The Surgeon General arrived in Minnesota on Friday to participate in a health conference hosted by the University of St. Thomas on Friday in Minneapolis. Her visit was generated a grass-roots effort by students of former Sen. Dave Durenberger's class. She provided the closing remarks for a forum that included representatives from the New Ulm Medical Center.

Criticism[edit]

Her political support for abortion access had been cited as a source of controversy, since Benjamin is a Roman Catholic and the Catholic Church opposes such access. However, she has also received an award from Pope Benedict XVI.^[24] Benjamin also sits on the board of the Catholic Health Association^[25] and is active in her local church.^[26] Benjamin served on the board of trustees of the Catholic Health Association. She was endorsed by Lloyd Dean, the president of Catholic Healthcare West, the largest hospital system in California, who issued a statement saying he was "delighted" by her nomination.^[27]

During her confirmation process, critics also sought to make Benjamin's personal weight a source of controversy.^[28][29]

New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman said that Benjamin, "like most of her predecessors", avoided controversy, and avoided criticizing industry. The 2010 report, he said, blames "the victims" for eating too much and not getting enough exercise, while ignoring the marketing of junk food, and the scientific evidence for the contribution of sugar-sweetened food to obesity.^[30]

NUACT production of ‘Inherit the Wind’ canceled

MLC concerned about play’s dealing with evolution, creationism

September 27, 2013

NEW ULM - The New Ulm Actors Community Theatre's production of "Inherent the Wind"?was canceled last week due to cast dropouts stemming from objections by Martin Luther College professors and local WELS members over the play's depiction of the evolution/creationism debate.

NUACT originally slated the play as its fall production with MLC student Zach Stowe as director. The play deals with a fictionalized version of the evolution/creationism debate in the 1925 Scopes "Monkey Trial." The play is also a metaphor for criticizing the suppression of free expression under the McCarthyism of the 1950s.

The play was not slated to be performed at MLC, but a final audition was scheduled on campus on Friday, Aug. 30. NUACT previously used MLC for auditions, rehearsals and performances.

After seeing the poster for the audition, several MLC professors raised objections about the play's subject to the administration.

Stetzer, who cannot spell disciple,
has a diciple in Glende.

Jeffrey Schone, MLC's VP of Student Life, declined to name the objecting professors, but stated the administration similarly became concerned about being associated with the play.

MLC is the college of ministry for the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), which believes in creationism that teaches the Genesis story as a factual, historical account. Schone said MLC was concerned about making it absolutely clear to its students, WELS members and the public about its beliefs and teachings on creationism. He said he recognizes the subtext of the play, but feels it is unfairly critical of creationism and that most people would only see the criticism.

"We felt it was not compatible with what [the school] teaches the Bible says about the universe and the world,"? said Schone. "This is a ministerial school. People employing our students need confidence about their views."

Schone informed Stowe on the morning of the audition that it could not be held on campus. The audition was then rescheduled to a new location.

On the following Tuesday (Sept. 3), Stowe resigned from the play. He cited a flood of e-mails and letters objecting to his association with the play from MLC professors and local WELS members for his decision. He was also concerned that MLC administration would maybe take their concerns further if the outcry kept growing, so he decided to focus on the more important issue of his schooling.

However, he said he felt his creative freedom had been stifled and that he was very disappointed that some of the criticism seemed to come from MLC. He said he shares WELS' belief in creationism. He said he believes open discussion about the topic is essential to proving its validity.

"The play does not just say evolution is right. It treats Christians with respect. The entire point of the play is both sides need open, free discussions,"said Stowe. "But, I don't have any negative feelings about it. Everyone acted how their conscience directed them in this situation. I can respect it."

In the following two weeks, six NUACT members dropped out of the cast after consulting their WELS pastors or officials about being in the play after Stowe's departure.

On Sept. 16, the NUACT board voted to postpone the show indefinitely due to insufficient time to replace and retrain the lost staff before Oct. 4, which would have been opening night. NUACT Executive Director Paul Warshauer said the group still hopes to put on "Inherit the Wind," but no date has been determined.

Schone said he feels MLC did not put any pressure on Stowe or the NUACT cast. But, he said he feels it is appropriate for the college to voice concerns about the extracurricular activities of its students.

Schone's only regret was the timing of the decision due to when the administration learned about the audition. He said he apologized to NUACT for the inconvenience. He said NUACT and Stowe can use the MLC campus for future plays, and that the concerns were only with the content of "Inherit the Wind."
