Scapegoat Studio Blog: Return to Wittenberg 2016. How Many Will Mark Schroeder Kick Out of WELS?

Scapegoat Studio Blog: Return to Wittenberg 2016:



"This past week I was privileged to be a part of the first Return to Wittenberg (R2W) conference, entitled “What Does This Mean?” The event was held at Wisconsin Lutheran College in Milwaukee, on July 26-29. Since this was the event’s debut, I’ll spend a little time explaining what R2W is before reviewing my experience.

Last fall I was invited by several WELS pastors and laymen to consider presenting at the conference and help with the planning. Much of the groundwork had already been laid, so I can’t claim to have contributed much more than a graphic identity. In the early planning stages, the conference was conceived of as an alternative to WELS youth rallies that would be recognizably Confessional and Lutheran. While that may be the easiest way to explain it, it would be an oversimplification to say that R2W is just a WELS knockoff of Higher Things. What it became was a conference focused on the catechism, aimed at teens through 30-somethings, with the intent that all ages would be welcome."

NSA Intercept - Making a Yuuuge Deal

Do not anger the Big Kahuna.

One of my sources downloaded this from NSAintercepts.com, but the URL has changed since then. Those spooks are so careful with their information.

Kudu: OK, boss. We will give Ski a big recommendation, that he is 100% for a call anywhere.

Big Kahuna: This will make Insurance-ho happy. He protects his alumni.

Tiny Tim: That's right, Big. We will call Ski as soon as we get the OK. No one wants to accept a call for that position. Hahahahahahahaha.

Kudu: But boss, my parish needs to take over his members and territory, OK? That way we can go multi-campus and make a big splash in the area. Round Rock is loaded with high-end potential members.

Insurance-ho: I am sure that some generous grants will come from this blessed plan. The board wants to do more with our institutions and congregations.

Big Kahuna: Kudu, we have to have a study about the situation, maybe call in an outsider on this, like Will Cell 4 Call. He will make sure we have good results

Kudu: He is a fine man. I am sure he would like to hunt lions in Africa with me.

Tiny Tim: He's a vegan.

Kudu: He can hunt deer with me. They only eat grass and leaves.

Big Kahuna: Great. We are all on the same page. Now let's make sure this does not get out.

Kudu: Boss, it's already a speculation post on you know what.

Big Kahuna: Conversation over. This never happened and nobody was here.

Tiny Tim: GA promise - better than a pinky promise.

Reviewing the August 8, 2016 Christian News Reading CN So You Don't Have To

Ralph Bohlmann is the only LCMS Synod President
to have a real PhD and be a life-long Missouri member.

I wrote the complete article on July 28, 2016
and most will not see it in CN until August 8th.
For fast results, read Ichabod, The Glory Has Departed

 This is an all-Lutheran sport.
Even those like Herman Otten join the sport.

This is another Bohlmann issue for Christian News, which backed his candidacy. Bohlmann was one of the remaining professors at Concordia St. Louis when most of them walked out and formed Seminex, the Seminex students gallantly and dramatically walking out with them, only to return for the next meal. Really!

This issue is more about Bohlmann's daughter, who married a woman and became a UCC minister working with the Unitarian-Universalists.

You know what is coming mext, don't you?

The LCMS, when it planted its flag in 1932, with the Brief Statement, also allied itself with the Universalists, claiming falsely that God declared the entire world righteous (justified) and simply listed some Biblical citations that revealed the opposite to anyone who could read.

David Becker, remarkably unqualified to write on Lutheran topics, has a lot of stuff on Bohlmann's daughter, which is rather odd, since Ralph was Synod President and a temporary ally of Herman Otten.

No one wants to talk about that matter at all. Or about Barry, Otten, and Paul McCain.

Or about Harrison, Otten, and Paul McCain. I blame Otten for promoting these bad Synod Presidents, though I appreciate Jack Preus - another temporary Otten friend - for moving Missouri away from apostate mainline Protestantism for a while.

Nor do they discuss the decline of the Missouri Synod, WELS, and ELS after they made the Brief Statement of 1932 their Holy of Holies, their Rosetta Stone for all doctrine, with the dogma of the Synodical Conference's sex criminal founder, Bishop Martin Stephan, STD, engraved on the hearts of the foolish, naive, and Biblically ignorant.

Forster's statement is demonstrably true,
so Walther was another opportunist,
another enable of Stephan's sex and money follies,
not the knight riding in on a white charger
to teach the Pure Doctrine.
Walther, loved, loved, loved, UOJ.

Report of the Twelve - From 2012

"Be it further resolved...
What do you mean, one of us went to state prison?
And the Director of Communications did what?"

Time of Grace
The convention last summer acknowledged that the situation with Time of Grace and its status as a “Recognized Service Organization” (RSO) of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS) was a source of some concern and confusion. The convention encouraged Time of Grace in its ministry of gospel proclamation; at the same time it expressed support for the Southeastern Wisconsin District presidium in its continuing efforts to bring the matter to a God-pleasing resolution.

The Southeastern Wisconsin District presidium reported its progress to the COP in October 2011. On the basis of conversations with Time of Grace and the LCMS official in charge of RSOs, the Southeastern Wisconsin District presidium reported to the COP that it determined that the relationship was not a violation of fellowship principles, since the LCMS and Time of Grace understood the wording in the RSO definition to mean something different than the words say. It was the understanding of Time of Grace that the publicly stated requirements for an RSO to be in agreement with LCMS doctrine and practice and to commit to fostering the mission and ministry of the LCMS did not really mean what a WELS person would understand the words to mean, and that the LCMS was making no requirements of Time of Grace to alter its message to conform in any way to LCMS doctrinal positions.

"Guard and protect the rot we have passed down to you,
thou founder of Church and Change."

In spring 2012, the Southeastern Wisconsin District presidium, along with President Mark Schroeder, met with leaders of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod to clarify how the LCMS defines and understands the Recognized Service Organization status. The LCMS explained that the published guidelines defining the relationship are intended to be used by the LCMS in evaluating organizations for this status and that the guidelines do not require an organization to change its message or its program to comply. It was this understanding that led Time of Grace and the presidium of the Southeastern Wisconsin District to conclude that the RSO status did not represent a violation or compromise of biblical fellowship principles.

The LCMS officials also reported that they are currently in the process of reviewing the entire RSO program with the intention of developing new requirements and guidelines. From what was said, the new guidelines may include requirements that would make it no longer possible for a WELS organization to have RSO status. Once those requirements have been adopted, Time of Grace has indicated that it will evaluate what is being required and take the appropriate steps.

Patterson's outreach to gangs has yielded these recent converts.

Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "Wisconsin Lutheran College - Paul Kelm's Latest Ch...":

They would be more honest to maintain the mantra of their Synod Leader, Mark Jeske WELS/ELS/LCMS/ELCA, and refer to their group as Change Or Die.

Noticed that Jeff Gunn continues to teach (W)ELS sheep following his 2011 Youth Rally pied pipering:
Establishing a Vision for the Future, with Buy-In
Pastor Jeff Gunn of Cross Walk Church in Phoenix

As difficult as it may be to say, it's getting hard to think of (W)ELS leadership as crassly impotent and simply come away with the conclusion that they are intentionally enabling the New Age Emergent false teachers to lead their churches glibly into the Last Days.

Buckets of shame they heap upon themselves, from clergy worshiping with Baptists and Methodists, clergy learning evangelism from Satanic New Age motivational speakers, financing ELCA called worker abortions through Thrivent, financing the New World Order religion, the UN's United Religions Initiative (URI) through Thrivent, Change or Die seminars given by Synod cross dresser and (W)ELS Media celebrity Pastor Mark Jeske, unconditionally forgiven homosexual child pedophile (W)ELS Communications Director Hochmuth ...

***

GJ - Hochmuth's name does not appear in the report. Remember how Schroeder and Otten went Medieval on me about the MLC gay video? Otten apologized to WELS for printing the truth. Soon after the Hochmuth scandal broke and page-reads doubled for a long, long time. The video continued to be posted on Facebook on its own page. Now it is gone, but replaced by two more copies posted by fans. Here is a message posted on that page:

A request from one of the originators of the video, and from all the guys in the video...I don't know who the administrator of this group is, or who created it, but it's time to get rid of this group, especially since the video is still posted on it. The video was removed from YouTube for a reason...because we didn't want the video open to public viewing. It puts those of us in the video in a bad light, and we don't want it posted anywhere, anymore. So please, if you are the administrator, or know who the administrator is, please remove this page and the video from Facebook. Thank you!

One comment below:
Hank Williams hmmm and when did that happen? After Hochmuth was arrested for distributing child porn? You should really think how your actions can lead others into sin ans stop hiding behind the 8th commandment. No one would have anything to say if you'd used your other head and thought through what the ramifications were goig to be. And BTW it doesn't just put you in a bad light - it harms MLC and WELS. No shortage of stupid here?! Right.

Response:
Troy Schreiner You're right, sir. It was a mistake. It doesn't make it an excuse that it was a dumb thing we did in college, and we didn't think it through. It was a poor decision, and we now regret it, which is why we've been working to get it taken off of every public venue since it first happened. We have repented and asked for forgiveness for what we did and haven't "hidden behind the 8th commandment" at all. It does put our school and our synod in a bad light....which I reiterate is why we're trying to get rid of it, so it isn't available for people to see anymore. As I said, we've apologized, we've repented, and we've been forgiven by our God and by those we've apologized to. Hope you can do the same, Mr. Williams.

***

GJ - Obviously people made copies of the video and it will never go away. Martin Luther College is completely lacking in faculty supervision. The college students were angered that I posted objections to their gay plagiarism and they grudgingly said they would forgive me! The objections came from WELS members and several WELS pleas are still on that special FB page of theirs.

SP Schroeder's claim in Christian News that the video was taken down is ridiculous for anyone under nursing home age. The video was linked to many different gay websites, and the people they copied were flattered by the imitation.

The MLC guys should apologize for lying about not knowing the original was a gay video. That also seems to come from the locked ward of the nursing home. "Hey Maude, look at those Lutheran boys dancing around like girls."

One person on the FB page asked:

Anticipating Fall - Preparation for 2017

Autumn Leaves - by Norma Boeckler.
They feed the soil creatures - for free.

Jessical Walliser wrote a column on the garden in autumn, which reminded me to mention a few ideas early. Some of us are already planning for next year.

The most important part of autumn is NOT cleaning up the garden. Everything should be left alone to let the beneficial insects over-winter in the debris. Hollow plant stems are good locations for wild bees and other insects. Some use the dead leaves for cover and warmth, too. When I used to have forests of sunflowers, I left all the stems intact for insects and birds. My mother wanted me to remove the mess. I said, "What will the birds perch on when the snow has fallen? They like to have an elevated place for safety and food spotting." She said, "I never thought of that."

Large annual plants like a sunflowers also have a large root system to rot into the ground over the winter. Rotting organic material is good for the soil, food for various creatures, and by creating a food magnet, also a good place for birds to harvest for their needs, in winter and early spring.

Apple Tree by Norma Boeckler.
Fruit trees increase their production when mulched with leaves all winter.

Autumn Leaves
We will finish the cardboard layer of three gardening areas before the leaves begin to fall:

1. Hosta Garden - formerly The Three Sisters, which the squirrels treated as their main food source.
2. The Bird Feeding and Butterfly Zone. Some see that as a contradiction, but we have bird feeders surrounded by Butterfly Bush with Bee Balms also planted. I want to subdue the weeds in-between
3. The Wild Garden, which could use a little less wild. I know tall grass is good for many beneficial insects, but cardboard and leaves will tame the area

The Hosta Garden is now covered and the cardboard weighed down so we do not share our cardboard with the neighborhood during windstorms. Today is another cardboard delivery, which will modify the bird and butterfly area. There the red Bee Balms spread like crazy and also went quite wobbly, surrounded by tall grass weeds. I decided to stick to purple BeeBalms called Monarda.

Cardboard is free, easy to lay, and blocks weed growth
very well. The covering of leaves and pine needles will make it
a giant feeding zone and also more attractive.

Cardboard Plus Leaves
Newspapers work well for the first layer of mulching, but they do not cover much and want to fly away rather than stay in place while laying them down.

Wood mulch looks great, but the cost adds up. In the backyard gardens we are using only leaves now. They also look good and mat down well for the winter. In the late spring they are decomposed into the ground by rain, earthworms, mites, and other soil creatures.

The extensive leaf layer serves three purposes:

1. The overwintering beneficial insects will burst into life in the spring and provide protection against pests, food for birds.
2. Leaves piled around roses will insulate them from the cold and drying winter winds.
3. The leaves and cardboard will become part of the soil over time and feed God's creatures. I see a pound of organic matter as a pound of organic fertilizer, whether the material is manure, grasses, weeds, leaves, cardboard, or newsprint.

Sharon Lovejoy says, "Let the birds eat the seeds
from the plants that bloomed" - like these coneflowers.

Why Do Words and Ideas Anger and Scare the Leaders So Badly?

These three Lutheran leaders agree about one thing -
they reject Luther's doctrine of Justification by Faith, the Chief Article of Christianity,
the Master and Prince, the Judge of all other articles of faith.
They love bad Bible translations.

I have heard from various people that my posts anger and scare leaders.

That puzzles me, because their words and ideas do not anger and scare me. I have many acquaintances who think the opposite of me. One FB friend just quoted UOJ lovingly, and the actual words were really sappy and wrong.

One LCMS pastor is moving from CPH to Ft. Wayne to teach. He edited Luther's Works, so I asked on FB if he taught Luther's Justification by Faith. That offended his friends.

Paul McCain made sure no one linked this blog on the Steadfast Lutherans Matt for President group blog. The various writers also opposed having anyone defend Justification by Faith.

Steadfast (note the irony) Lutherans did their best to avoid mentioning me, although in the end they had to admit that UOJ came from Pietism. Once they began going full throttle on the Chief Article, the founder Steve Spencer bailed out and said IL was not accomplishing anything, Indeed. They jumped off the blog like fleas from a dying dog.

At the Emmaus Conference, which was promoted as a discussion among the LCMS, WELS, and ELS, one layman was ordered not to discuss Justification by Faith with anyone. However, Jar Jar Webber was not prohibited from discussing UOJ at the conference.

I am prohibited by Luther to offer motives for these reactions, even though my motives are constantly impugned by these opponents. I am often shocked by their confidently telling others that I do not know Greek when classical languages was my major in college. My future wife talked me into taking German with her as well. Ja wohl!  Should I send my transcripts?

I enjoyed learning more Greek by writing out my own translations in seminary. Between college, seminary, and Yale - I took beginning French, advanced Latin, advanced Hebrew, plenty of New Testament Greek, if one counts an entire year where most of the classes were either Hebrew exegesis or Greek exegesis.

So I tutored Little Ichabod in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. John Lawrenz coveted our son's Vulgate, so we gave it to him. Our son also learned to be fluent in Spanish and German at MLS.

Most ELCA Lutherans cannot explain the Augustana - the Augsburg Confession.
But the yahoos pictured above can only teach against it,
and their members are no better than ELCA in their prideful ignorance.
This is Augustana College, where I met Mrs. Ichabod - 50 years ago.

I could rehearse their other clear manifestations of fear, anger, and dishonesty.

I went to an inerrancy conference in Chicago decades ago. They gave us free books on the topic, all written by non-Lutherans. I appreciated having them and learned a few things from them, especially from a non-Lutheran perspective.

A tsunami of fear seems to be overtaking Lutherans as they look ahead at their doom and destruction. After all, the endowment-rich seminaries of ELCA are collapsing just in time for WELS and Missouri to import the leaven of the most rapidly dying group. Thrivent will pay them to accomplish these acts of self-destruction.

If the biggest boy on the block is failing, where will the little guys go? If the richest one is broke and firing staff, what will happen to the poor, country cousins?

The Dumbing Down of the Synods and Denominations

Jungkuntz chaired the Seminex board, a portable seminary that became
the official school for the gay Metropolican Community Church sect - 100% gay.
Thus this WELS-LCMS-ALC leader became the chairman of the first
gay Lutheran seminary. That influence continues in ELCA, WELS, Missouri, and the ELS.
Note that Seminex was populated with Concordia, St. Louis faculty,
the ones who walked out and encouraged students to steal the library books.
One Seminex student said to me, "Those were our books!"

Richard Jungkuntz called himself "old school," for the New York Times and mourned the loss of respect for teachers that his father enjoyed. Martin Marty made the same point.

That generation led the Long March through the denominations, appearing to retreat at times - like their hero Mao - but actually regrouping to take over the culture. And they did.

Nothing claimed about the American decline is alien from what the mainline denominations have wrought. They pioneered what the ruling class now certifies as 100% good. The denominations look at the fruit of their labors and make it even worse.

The cause of this calamity among Lutherans is singular: ignorance of Biblical Lutheran doctrine. There is an old principle in sales that also applies to doctrine. If a sales trainer cannot sell, no matter what his words of wisdom suggest, his trainees will not learn to sell. If he has certain hang-ups, such as hating to phone or fearing the close, they will absorb the same quirks and weaknesses.

Applying that to Lutherans, we can see how the seminaries and colleges have been downgrades in service to Holy Mother Synod. I met the Philadelphia (LCA) seminary professor who published an article their Lutheran magazine, showing that homosexuality was against nature and therefore wrong.
That was about 1981. Now Philadelphia and Gettysburg have failed to such an extent, with all lavender faculties, that they now have merged organically while keeping the names. They wanted to fire more professors but had to backtrack a bit.

The Gospel of forgiveness is revealed from the faith of Jesus (Romans, Galatians, Philippians) to the faith of believers who have been converted by the Spirit at work in the Word of God. The Lutheran leaders, who never stop lecturing and writing about their ignorance, cannot teach the basics of Biblical doctrine. They are not stewards of the mysteries of God, but salesmen of the methods of Fuller Seminary.

These leaders do not trust the Word and do not believe in the Gospel as it is revealed in the Bible. Instead, they talk about themselves, their corporations, their need for money, and their great humility. The only things they do not publish are:

• Their crimes, 
• Their apologies for false doctrine, or
• Their actual expenditures of money, from offerings, Thrivent, and foundations.

These leaders - with inadequate training - speak on their own authority. They claim eternal verities without the least bit of Biblical support. Most of the time they are teaching directly against the Scriptures. At other times they are improving and clarifying matters, so the articles of faith can be dispensed with later, thanks to those precious amendments. Thus the resurrection of Jesus expresses the "Easter faith of the disciples," meaning - it never happened.

If you think that cannot happen in your hyper-Pietistic sect, ask yourself how many things have been justified because, "According to research from Fuller Seminary..." One might as well say "the Pope" instead.

When I listen to these people blabbering, or read their pernicious works, I wonder if they could teach the basics of Luther's Small Catechism. They clearly reject the Large Catechism, which any layman can read with edification - and teach to others.

But if the leaders cannot explain correctly how one comes to faith, or what the efficacy of the Word means to all our work, then how can the callow seminarians grasp anything more than the current fads: guitars, cheap keyboards, and statistical models.

The Scriptures

The way the LCMS and WELS tumbled for the original, classic NIV is typical of the growing ignorance. No one had enough knowledge or spine to oppose this move, which worsened with the New NIV. The pattern of ignorance and cowardice continued.

Someone asked me about translations. Oddly enough, the super-pietistic holier-than-me ELDONA group was using the New KJV, which is fairly Babtist in all the key passages. They were not united in that, either, because one pastor likes the Calvinist RSV marketed as the ESV. (Paul McCain does too!) 

In the area where Lutherans should be most careful, they are especially lax. God help the person who disobeys Holy Mother Sects Chief Dogma (the infallibility of the sect itself) but everything else is up for grabs. That is what we should expect in the Age of Apostasy. The most important articles are neglected while matters of indifference are raised to canonical status.

Moreover, ELDONA (aka Jim Heiser, STM) filled with wrath at the mere appearance of my books, including a concise comparison of translations, which indicted their Babtist New KJV.

Those are the same dudes who had no problem with UOJ for over a decade. Real bright bulbs - or just opportunists?

As far as I can see - the only Bibles to use today are the

1. KJV - my favorite, the only one I use,
2. KJV21 - a very slight modernization, or
3. Third Millennium Bible - another slight modernization.

We are not having a debate because all of us in the world-wide Church of the Augsburg Confession appreciate the KJV and feel no reason to look elsewhere. If people wanted to discuss this topic, we would look at all the key passages in the KJV21 and TMB, keeping in mind that the KJV is also slightly modernized.

But let us face the truth - the Lutheran leaders do not care about the teaching of the Scriptures. They cannot preach from it or teach it to to others.

Bishop Shallow Unleashes the Three Types of Governance. Watch the Tape Before They Erase It

I would apologize for using this creepy picture of Heiser,
but he used it himself for his profile.
A bold confession of faith in ELDONA by a founder.

ELDONA Pastor Josh Sullivan published the continuing revelation of Bishop-for-Life Heiser, ELDONA.

ELDONA organized in 2006. "The decision was made..." Sure. Heiser wanted to be a bishop and made sure his friends named him bishop-for-life.

This is what Pastor Martin Stephan arranged when his cult landed in New Orleans. Walther and others signed a document making Stephan bishop-for-life, certifying what was already true. Only those who submitted to Stephan in all matters could be in the leadership.  One pastor had to apologize to Stephan before he met the man.

"For the sake of good order..." is a mantra in ELDONA, which gives Heiser power over every detail. They even joke about it.

For those who were raised in abusive LCMS, WELS, or ELS congregations, this is just fine. Walther worship and pastoral abuse go hand-in-hand. Ft. Wayne specializes in teaching their graduates that they are the greatest. Everyone bow down to the priest, David Scaer would say.

Heiser has a great line about subscribing to the Book of Concord without teaching the Confessions of the Lutheran Church. And yet, he is the best example of ignoring the Chief Article. He did not even know the truth of Justification by Faith when he read Thy Strong Word in 2000. He was offended that anyone "denied Objective Justification" until he found out from TSW what Objective Justification really meant.

Heiser thought David Scaer at Ft. Wayne was a great dogmatics professor. Ha!

 Scaer is another mini-pope following the model of Stephan and Walther.
That is why so many Ft. Wayne graduates come out damaged
by his bad influence.
Examples: Paul McCain, James Heiser, Jar Jar Webber.

And yet Heiser was silent about Objective Justification, welcomed OJ pastors who acknowledged his glorious title, and refused to deal with the issue openly until Paul Rydecki saw the light (after publicly supporting OJ on the Intrepid Lutherans blog). Rydecki became a champion of Justification by Faith and DP Buchholz kicked him out for falling away from the Chief Dogma of WELS (see the idiotic essay by Frosty Bivens, plagiarizing Zarling's  sophomoric "Stand in Awe of Justification" (without faith).

Like most graduates of Concordia Seminary in Ft. Wayne, Heiser managed to get his diploma without knowing basic Biblical, Lutheran doctrine and what the Missouri Synod continues to teach opposing it - also a matter of public knowledge, filling the library at Ft. Wayne, summarized in the Brief Statement of 1932.

I imagine that when Heiser embraced the Rolf Preus Synod and began meeting with them - after he knew better - the Chief Article was reduced to an adiaphoron, a matter of indifference.

Readers will notice on the tape that Heiser used "whoever" correctly and then changed that to "whomever," which is never the subject of a relative pronoun clause. Thus the semi-educated seek to use pretentious English to appear more educated.

Minute and second mark - 8.26 "error...whomever (sic) is promulgating it."

There are so many ways to cover the Chief Article with smog,
or just ignore it.

Although ELDONA pretends to enjoy the purist form of fellowship, the union of opposing doctrines without settling their differences is proof of doctrinal indifference and unionism.

Some would object and say, "But now ELDONA has defended Justification by Faith and the Rolf Synod has scurried back to the ELS. You have slandered Holy Mother Diocese!"

Recent events and the various eructations of ELDONUTs have convinced me that the Chief Dogma of ELDONA is the infallibility and authoritarian rule of Bishop James Heiser, "for the sake of good order."

ELDONA pastors are told how they must conform to the most minute details of Heiser's demands in conducting worship.

As I have noticed before with characters like Jar Jar Webber, the more they pay attention to their Eastern Orthodox/Roman influences from Ft. Wayne, the less they care about sound doctrine, especially the Gospel.

The Episcopal Church USA is additional proof of high church people caring nothing about doctrine, though any form of church government can be subverted by greedy, power-mad, narcissistic leaders.

More could be said about the chit-chat interview. There is no Biblical foundation for the claims, but who needs that when they have the continuing revelation of Heiser? Notice on the tape that "voting" is bad in electing officials, without clearly stating that Heiser is following the examples of

1. DeJaynes, his former bishop, 
2. Martin Stephan, the first Lutheran bishop in America, and 
3. Walther the Pope and Great Prophet of Missouri.

What We Believe
At Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, we believe and accept:

***

GJ - This saves a lot of time when Bishop-for-Life Heiser changes his mind, after enjoying a new revelation from the throne of his heart. After all, he ignored the Chief Article for a decade or so, welcomed fellowship with UOJ fanatics like the Rolf Preus Synod and Eric Stefanski.

Then, with Paul Rydecki and a large church building came Justification by Faith.

Erasing a lot of text is a bother, and old pages can be called up with special software. Leaving the page blank and posting the banner is a great time-saver.

Father Stefanski is a crock ever full of himself.

Waiting for your sermon on husband of one wife, Richard.

ELDONA is the most Pietistic sect claiming the Lutheran name.
They have raised shunning to an art form.

Who else was the enforcer for a bishop-for-life in the good, old days?
And coveted the property of others, then grabbed it?
And ruled like a pope?
ELDONUTs are the true Waltherians.

The Guys Who Are Leading the Views Again - Ski and Glende, Jeske and Patterson. From 2009

Ski posted this photo of MariQueen in his Facebook photo albums.

It is still there if you follow the link.

Update - after a long interval, photos disappeared from public view -

Ski and Glende.

Tell Me This Is NOT a Scheme To Get Ski Back to Appleton

Glende still features this photo with Katy Perry, age 25, on the

home page of his Facebook account.
She is famous for Ur So Gay and I Kissed a Girl.
The Glende-Ski supervisors should look up the videos and lyrics to these masterpieces, especially since much is made of her growing up Christian and singing Gospel.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "WELS - The CORE - Features Movies for Advent":

Where do those pictures of Pastors Ski and Glende come from?

I believe Mariqueen Maandig is married to Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. So it's not like she's hitting on him. Still, Google her and you find plenty of pictures of her in various states of undress, and even naked. I can't say that having her pose for a picture with him would be wrong. But why would he want such a picture? Moreover, if he meets a celebrity and she agrees to pose, why would it be one that feigns intimacy? And perhaps most perplexing, why would he then make it public? It shows a lack of judgment so profound that that, in itself, would seem to disqualify him from ministry. It's disrespectful to Mrs. Ski. And it raises the question of what a pastor does to strive to be "beyond reproach." [GJ - 2 Corinthians 6:3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed]

GJ - I mentioned before that many of these WELS people are techno-dolts. Pastor Tim has now locked down his photo albums and other information, but he still features the photo (above) on his main page. Ski has not privatized his photos (as of this writing). The photo above is found among his photo albums.

I am always finding these Changers bragging about themselves on the Net, for everyone to see, and subsequently erasing the evidence or hiding it when people get linked to it.

Dom Perignon Patterson is listed as a Facebook friend among all the Changers I found. The same names keep cropping up. Patterson and Jeske are on all those lists. Jeske's information is open, but good luck with Patterson. You will get a copy of Obama's birth certificate before you see anything about Don. I guess the safari and fishing photos were painful experiences for him when published elsewhere. I was told he had another free vicar this year, but the vicar is not even listed on the church website. Nor is SP-in-Exile Gurgle, who was hired for pay by skimming the salaries of the staff.

Long ago, my grade school teacher admonished us not to go around writing on walls or in textbooks. She said, "Fools' names and fools' faces are often found in public places."

Ski's reputation in A-town is for posting all his celeb photos in his office and bragging about them. He even does that with people who come in for spiritual counseling.

Ski and Glende represent the Peter Pan segment in WELS, the pastors who never want to grow up. They often come from the athletes, the same ones who would not get the position as Second Water Boy in a big school. At a tiny school they can be varsity. There are mature, Lutheran pastors in WELS.

Someone wrote that SP Schroder has to act, but I ask, "Where are the Fox Valley pastors?" Some belong to the same Reformed cult as Ski and Glende, but there must be some Lutherans there, some grown-ups. And where are the Fox Valley laity?

Rainbow is the WELS mascot.

Try to deny it now, Kudu Don Patterson.

Your take on Dom Patterson is right on. He is a Changer to the Core but has recently tried to hide his affiliation as he is being exposed. Patterson's Reason for Hope is a replica of Mark Jeske's Time of Grace. Dom is also under the tutelage and direction of Gurgle.

I opened Ski's Facebook profile from your link. Did you notice that under his "Interested in" the only thing he has listed is "Women." Did someone hack his site and post that? I can't imagine a pastor posting something like that. If it's his, I would think his ministry is done.

People keep harping that it's Pres. Schroeder's job to discipline Ski. It isn't. It's his circuit pastor's job first. Who is his circuit pastor?

This remark is so far off the mark, I just needed to call attention to it. It shows what a buffoon you are.

Only someone who gets their info from this sheistblog (sic! - no such word) would say something like this.

GJ - My informant says that staff salaries were reduced to pay for Gurgle's invented position. Patterson wanted two positions funded and "only" got his free vicar.

I am not sure what German word LutherRocks was attempting. Ichabodians, do you accept official denials to come from someone who knows not that he knows not German?

Don Patterson on his friends list? Ya think?

Best Comment of the Month!

Please! What is going on here? Isn't it o.k. to post a picture with your wife and her arm lovingly wrapped around your belly? There is nothing wrong with you showing your wife, family, kids, or niece, who loves you and shows it. I would have a little talk with my daughter if she dressed so provocatively though and my wife for that matter. But other than that, I think it's o.k.

Perhaps this could also just be a very loving congregation. "Greet each other with a heavenly kiss." Doesn't the Bible say that?

GJ - There are pictures of Ski with his wife, on Facebook, but they do not steam up the camera lens. Those photos have been shut down, along with the babe shot. Here is a boat picture of the family. And there are others, too.

Is he going to post more pictures with hookers? Why is he spending time with these x-rated females? What about setting a good role model? This female is not even a celebrity and is married to a man who doesn't even believe in God. He writes hateful songs about God.

[GJ - The rest is deleted, for obvious reasons. We don't need links to porn stars.]

The author of this blog consistently refutes the fact that he is breaking the 8th Commandment. Regarding his claim that staff salaries were "skimmed" to pay for Gurgle's salary at Holy Word, that is a blatant lie. Their is no credence to that whatsoever. GJ's informant broke the 8th commandment when he shared this lie with Mr. (not pastor) Jackson. GJ broke the 8th commandment when he posted that lie. To you Mr. Jackson...your informant is not as in touch with things as he or you would like to think

***

GJ - Would anonymous and unfounded accusations qualify as slander? I think so. Send me the before and after budgets at Holy Word, Austin, and I will publish a retraction if the audited figures prove the claim posted above. Just to be sure, include your name, address, birthday, last four of your SS, and your mother's maiden name. I can't be too careful in dealing with Chicaneries.

I am also interested in the disappearing Vicar at Holy Word. Is there one or not? Why is he not on the websty if he is? And where is Gurgle? Is he afraid of a process server? Just wonderin'.

Mr. Jackson, why would anybody send you a copy of their church budget? What an idiotic request. It seems that request was just your way of trying to deflect the fact that you are publishing lies. As a man of God, which you claim to be, when another man of God, which I am by grace, lets you know that you printed a lie, I would hope that you would take that seriously and consider retracting it. Our Lord takes breaking the 8th commandment seriously, which you have done. If you still demand proof, ask your informant for proof since it seems they think they know what is going on, which they clearly don't. But I 'm sure you made sure their information was correct before you dragged a church's Gospel ministry through the dirt once again. Make a trip to Austin and visit one of their Bible classes and church services. Sit down with one of the lay leaders in the church. You will realize quickly their knowledge of the bible is substantial. To your chagrin they will not be able to quote the Lutheran confessions, however, they do have a thorough knowledge of the Bible and a genuine love for their Lord and Savior. May the Lord bless your Christmas celebration and hopefully you will find some time to share in the JOY of the Christ-child, instead of dwelling in your bitter state. Hopefully the plank in your eye will be removed sometime with the Lord's help. By His grace, I am working on my plank on a daily basis.

GJ - Oh-oh: another wounded heart comment. And this came from Mumford, Texas, not far from Round Rock and Austin.

Why does Patterson hide so much? He makes blogging interesting.

Why are we spending $45,000 on a WELS-LCMS
fundraising guy?
Ka-pow. Kicked out.
