Ron Ash snatched Tim the Boy Wonder from his Savoy failure, and soon Wonderboy was senior pastor. Katy Perry remains unconverted by her Road to Damascus experience with Glende and Ski. |
As a group, they filed four lawsuits at once, each one without merit. Their argumentation was so ridiculous that the judge dismissed Glende's pathetic whining (two hours worth) - he had no case. The other three, including Ski, knew they had nothing, but they stalled instead of dropping the lawsuits.
Ski really had a lot of nerve showing up in a courtroom. He should have been defending himself for showing porn to his staffmember, talking porn to her, and using disgusting sexual references about a woman who came into the bar/restaurant where they were. One could include drinking on the job, being intoxicated on the job, and Ski's previous court case in Milwaukee, where he had to post an appearance bond.
Glende joined in the abusive behavior. They billed their CORE as a coffee-house ministry but they made it a bar ministry. How else can one get paid to get hammered? Why not buy a bar with a liquor license and attract the downtown alcoholics?
The CORE's fridge was stocked with beer, which was consumed all day long.
Basic point of law, Ski and Glende - it is not slander if it is true. Simply responding to a request for Ski's future in the ministry is not harassment. Don't ask me - ask the judge. The judge did not need to hear the combat veteran's side of the question. I am told Glende whimpered about "a blog in Arkansas" and got an astonished reaction from the judge.
I would love to claim that only Fox Valley is that bad, or that the Anything Goes District is the only one so corrupt. But no - I experienced the same hate campaigns in Columbus while drunks and adulterers ran the show and led the youth conference. DUI accident? Perfect for Schwan money and foreign missions.
I could describe the experience of others in WELS, which are just the same, but that would expose them to more hatred and slander.
No one wants to stand up for this combat veteran and his wife? Is America so gone on alcohol and recreational drugs that no one has a spine?
The cesspool in question has its district convention this week. I wonder if anyone will speak up.
ELCA seemed to go on and on with no reaction, for 22 years. But they took one vote in 2009, one that necessarily followed everything they had done for the previous decades. Explosion. Over 20% of the synod packed up and left, even the gutless bishops had enough. At least the safely retired and pensioned bishops did.
And WELS, with its nose in the air at all times, still works with ELCA.
