Bizarre Youth Conference for ELCA - 30,000 Youth. The Conservative Lutherans Whine, But Gladly Work with ELCA for the Thrivent Loot!

 ELCA Pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber: count the paradoxes in this one photo.

Many people are posting about the ELCA Youth Rally of 30,000 kids. They have focused on the wrong enemy. The situation is far worse than they imagine, because their own LCMS-WELS-ELS leaders work with ELCA.

The giant holding company that controls 99.9% of all Lutherans in America is Thrivent.

1. The LCMS gets $50 - 60 million a year, so ELCA probably gets $100 million.
2. The WELS gets several million dollars.
3. The ELS gets free napkins. 
4. The CLC sic does a little with the insurance combine too, but they are deader and dummerer than the ELS, so who cares?

Thrivent makes sure they all work according to ELCA's standards (pro-abortion, women's ordination, pan-sexual). The smaller groups are cheerleaders for the same causes or almost there. Most importantly, the "conservatives" agree with ELCA about UOJ - the entire world is forgiven and saved.

From a layman:

The Thrivent rep at  a recent bridal show had three marketing brochures, one of which was  specifically aimed at marriage and protection for young couples.

The only 'married'  couple pictured in that marriage brochure was a lesbian couple. 

Wayne Mueller's Church and Change Ur Gender son organized this church picnic where the children put makeup on the male leaders of the congregation. Wayne's son wore a dress, just like the lay leaders. Matthew 7:15ff. The parish published the photos for everyone to see and copy.

WELS is ahead of ELCA by virtue of having their male students cross-dress at their prep schools, college, and seminary. The newest WELS DP was the GA Pope - in drag, of course.

 I witnessed the WELS GA hazing ritual called GA or HB,
and the GA Pope did his work in drag.

So let me spill some acid on the conservative Lutheran sanctimony about ELCA. Your leaders work with ELCA all the time, and you elect those leaders. Hoho, let's change things at the ballot box. The LCMS gave more votes to continue with ELCA than they did to elect Matt the Fatt the first time. QED - they love ELCA even more than they love Harrison.

If ELCA is so bad, why work with them? And if y'all want to work with ELCA so badly - why complain about them?

Everybody knows the fight was fixed...
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died."
