| Tim Glende vicared under Mark Jeske, the real SP of WELS, and wrecked his first call in Illinois. WELS cautioned Glende about blowing so much money on Savoy; the mortgage is being foreclosed while you are reading this caption. |
- Rick Techlin has written many times, guardedly, about his experiences in WELS:
- He went through all the "right steps" to deal with the plagiarism of Tim Glende and Ski, who were simply copying Craig Groeschel material. For that he was excommunicated - with the approval of DP Doug Engelbrecht.
- Techlin recently wrote about St. Peter in Freedom using an AK-47 (assault rifle) as a prop during a sermon.
- As a lawyer, Techlin wrote a detailed letter about his experiences with Glende, Ski, and DP Doug Engelbrecht.
- When another member spoke out against Ski going back on the clergy roll, the staff of St. Peter in Freedom sued him on the spot. The judge laughed the petition out of court. Glende even tried to blame "a blog in Arkansas." What?
Fox Valley WELS Pastor Joel Lillo is great at boosting readership of this blog. His latest denials and evasions are worth parsing.
Lillo semi-denied that Tim Glende was the anonymous fake Ichabod. Such cleverness is frequently found in WELS communications - and it comes from their secret hazing ritual - GA. The clergy know it is a lie, but they enjoy fooling the laity and acting all touchy and irritated about such claims.
I could publish three volumes of their patently obvious deceptions, including Mark Schroeder's assertion that he never received a letter I sent him - even though he signed the certified letter receipt (which I scanned for the blog). His published signature rekindled his memory and he changed his story.
Lillo went on to say he participated in the fake blog - but did not know who wrote it. He was fairly sure it was not Glende.
Fellow WELS-victims, you know something stinks when a pastor in an incestuous and abusive sect says, "I don't know who wrote the blog." Lillo's Google Plus circle consists of Ski and two other people.
Unfortunately for Fox Valley, I was able to see who was reading the blog, where they lived, and what operating system (Windows XP, Mac, etc) they were using. When I posted about Fox Valley, the nasty comments poured in from - Fox Valley. The individual who borrowed my nickname for him - Anonymouse - wrote from Fox Valley and used a Mac (as St. Peter and The CORE did). Lillo did not have a Mac, an eye-witness told me.
Glende was a bully at Michigan Lutheran Prep, a bully at Northwestern College, and and a worse bully in Illinois and Freedom, Wisconsin. His anonymous blog was consistently dishonest, abusive, and cowardly.

Another set of really angry comments came from Garland, Texas, birthplace of Kudu Don Patterson, once a lowly circuit pastor, now an exalted DP in WELS. Joe Krohn told me all about Patterson's angry threats. Once I began noting the Garland comments as soon as they came in, they went silent. That is not proof that Patterson sent them. It was just a co-inky-dink.
It was another co-inky-dink that Glende and Patterson became Facebook friends during this time.
After Ski was fired twice for what would have gotten him shot in Oklahoma, Patterson gave the souse a call next door to him, in Round Rock, Texas. One reader surmised that Ski will provide the cash bar for the next women's spiritual retreat at Holy Word, Austin.

| Glende church growth - from no-debt congregation to dissolution and foreclosure. Savoy! Oi! Now the Eastern Orthodox want to buy Savoy too. How did Glende turn two WELS buildings into two Eastern Orthodox churches? He is dah Man. |
