Tim Glende's Fake Ichabod blog:
Jackson and his ilk will try all they want to discredit the WELS in connection with Joel Hochmuth's arrest. But WELS has handled the situation well. We pray for all the child victims of such pornography. We also pray for Mr. Hochmuth, that he specifically come to repentance over his sins.
And one other thing. Greg Jackson, get your head out of the gutter.

A $20,000 bond has been ordered for a Lutheran church leader charged with possessing hundreds of images of child pornography. 52-year-old Joel Hochmuth is due back in Waukesha County Circuit Court December 16th. A judge will decide whether there’s enough evidence to put him on trial for three felony count of child porn possession. Hochmuth is the communications director for the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. According to prosecutors, he admitted being addicted to watching porn videos of young males – and after his wife caught him doing it, the couple went to get counseling. Authorities said they seized several hundred images from his home computer, plus 310 photos and 38 videos from his office computer. Synod president Mark Schroeder says the church is “shocked and devastated” by Hochmuth’s arrest. He’s being suspended, and the church is reviewing his employment status.

GJ - "But WELS handled the situation well." The crime itself is so appalling that I have resisted putting verbatim quotations from the Criminal Complaint on the blog. Grown men are depicted raping little boys.
In 2009, Hochmuth and SP Schroeder put their names on a statement, still being posted, about how terrible ELCA was to endorse homosexuality.
Classic NIV Romans 1:27-32
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
SP Schroeder's latest venture in protecting the WELS brand was to claim the MLC gay video was done deliberately to mock homosexuality. He demanded and got an apology from Herman Otten, ever anxious to please all synod officials. Previously, the MLC boys claimed they did not know they were plagiarizing--frame by frame--a popular video filmed at Fire Island. They withdrew the video from YouTube, then had it reposted again twice - on YouTube and Facebook.
WELS has spent decades normalizing perverse behavior, such as having the freshmen at NWC pretend to have anal intercourse with the Sprinter statue (now at MLC). That was part of their hazing ritual. Scandals with church workers and children have been covered up, time after time.
This crime happened on synod property. The ovine members and pastors will let it go away, like all the other crimes of the past. WELS still denies the fact that two men murdered their wives. But the more they praise themselves for "how they handled it," the worse it will get. Massive resignations or firings normally follow this kind of debacle. Covering up leads to worse crimes, as recent history has shown.

That's the typical WELS attitude the Fake Ichabod is displaying--that to talk about any news that puts the WELS in bad light is evil, and those who discuss it have their head in the gutter. This Pietist "head buried in the sand" attitude is how Stephan could get away with his public sins for years.
So the victims of child pornography get one WELS press release, and that's supposed to be the end of the discussion in the minds of many WELS members, especially those on the WELS payroll. Ha! I hope the discussion goes on a lot longer.
Fake Ichabod: "And one other thing. Greg Jackson, get your head out of the gutter."

GJ - Tim Glende and Ski like to pose with pornography stars while ordering me not to cover their pornographic synod activities.
The last stage of Pietism is hedonistic atheism.
