Secret Service warning banks about ATM 'jackpotting' | abc7news.com:

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Thieves have discovered a new way to exploit older ATM's into spitting out every dollar they hold. It's called jackpotting because of the speed of the bills flying out, resembling how slot machines used to pay out coins.

The Secret Service has warned financial institutions to expect a wave of jackpotting over the next week to 10 days, based on its investigation of ATM crimes in several parts of the country.

The U.S. appears to be the latest target. In 2016, jackpotting yielded $13 million from ATM's. Twelve European countries and Mexico have also been hit recently.

Ahmed Banafa, from San Jose State's School of Engineering and an expert in the internet of things, says the thieves exploit free-standing ATM's operating Windows XP, which Microsoft no longer supports. The thieves first get inside the ATM to install malicious code or malware."

Divide and Conquer - CFW Walther Was - And Is - The Great Divider

CFW Walther remains the key figure and theologian of the LCMS, which is tragic for all Lutherans.

Walther divided Lutherans in three different ways. This is something for your  own studies, because each category is good for searching a library.

 But you can make it interesting.

First Division - Insisting on Halle Easter Absolution

When half-educated synod drones like Jay Webber promote the idea of Easter Absolution (UOJ) as Luther's position, they are echoing Walther's false doctrine learned from his syphilitic, adulterous bishop, Martin Stephan.

It took a long time, but Walther's position is now dominant in the leadership of the LCMS-WELS-ELS-CLC (sic). Apart from mutual loathing, it is the only thing they have in common. And they rejoice in their Walther-Stephan UOJ, like members of a Mafia crew.


Second Division - Election Without Faith

Walther divided the Synodical Conference from the start, by insisting on his peculiar dogma of election without faith, which was really a stealth version of his Easter Absolution UOJ from Halle. He was very good at crop-dusting anyone who taught Justification by Faith, and he made faith almost into a sin - or a big nothing. Once the better theologians went elsewhere, Walther was free to glory in his power and the unified stance of his sect.


Third Division - The Keys, Church and Ministry, Loehe

Loehe gave Walther the Ft. Wayne campus - free of charge - and agreed to keep supporting it financially. But Walther returned evil for good. He picked a fight with Loehe over Who's Got the Keys and related matters. Even today someone can be pilloried for being a "Loehist," even though Walther pretended to reconcile with the much more able pastor.

Once Walther alienated everyone who did not fall prostrate before him, he was free to assert his power everywhere and control everything, from calls to publications to professorships. Divide and Conquer works, and all the Lutheran sects practice it with the fervor of their Father Below.

An Illustration of the Filtering Effect of Propaganda

 "Not Stephan...again?"

Luther has a great statement about false teachers seeing through a red filter. No matter what Scripture passage the false eachers are given, they said, "It is still red."

I have listed many examples of this when giving Universal Objective Justification (forgiveness without faith) its due. It is worthwhile to see how propaganda affects us.

I became a Lutheran at the age of 16 and found Lutherans really excited about Luther, Roland Bainton, and his Here I Stand, A Life of Martin Luther. A few years later I got to meet Bainton and hear him lecture.

When I was ordained, the LCMS was going through its Seminex crisis. Within a few years I knew the LCA was getting worse, but the Missouri Synod was not much of an alternative. By the time we left the LCA, the new propaganda was in place and the LCMS was promoting its heroes.

I heard all the slogans that were never mentioned in the LCA - inerrant Scriptures, quia subscription to the Book of Concord, opposition to the historical-critical method of attacking the Scriptures. The Missouri Synod sounded like Paradise compared to the LCA.

 Your precious Objective Justification and Subjective Justification inventions are not yours. Oh no! They were an explanation of the Halle Pietistic lectures - Knapp's,
in the Calvinist's translators own words. And Woods, the translator, was not only a Calvinist but a superstar Protestant in his own era.

Missouri Popular Myths
According to popular notions, Walther began the LCMS (not true - Loehe did). Details of the origins were murky, so it was discussed as have a virgin birth at Altenberg, when Walther rode in on a white charger and showed who knew Luther best.

Who wants to say that the real leader - Martin Stephan - abandoned his family in Dresden, taking his mistress, his oldest son, and his blindly obedient cult followers to America?

At one point I read Zion on the Mississippi, but the early pages did not sink in, due to my lack of education in the real history. The Preus faction won at that point, and they raised the banner of the glorious Synodical Conference, its power and purity restored...at least in some spots.

I have owned Zion on the Mississippi several times, but the more recent readings were the most productive. The Saxon Migration was a traveling scandal, a cancer transplanted from Dresden to America. Stephan talked about leaving with his disciples, but the command to go did not happen until the government tried him and found him guilty of adultery, breaking various laws, and misuse of money.

Missouri Synod clergy and laity normally agree about the LCMS myths they learned and re-learned. I know the Perryville-Altenburg Holy Land perpetuates the falsehoods. At the very least, they keep up the spin on the real history.

When someone is related to key figures in all this, the pressure mounts to keep from telling the truth. We might say, "I am not related to anyone in the LCMS," but there is a marriage and - boom - an entire family tree has been spliced into one's life. And one can end up talking to a key figure in the new Creation crisis in the LCMS - in his own living room.
