Pietism Is Just as Aggressive as Calvinism and Marxism in Taking Over Minds and Institutions.
Woke Before the Woke Generation

 Pickleface Pietist Greta is their patron saint. How dare you question that fact!

Pietism is an aggressive philosophy that imitates its host institution while taking it over, eventually destroying the host. The most powerful and dangerous method is the cell group. Pietism turns the Gospel into Law, repudiating congregational worship and sound doctrine.

Skipping ahead to the oldest and most rotten examples today, let us look at ELCA, the Presbyterians, and the United Church of Christ. They are 100% woke, promoting the latest social justice warrior fads as the ruling norm of their institutions. Each little victory leads to more of the same - and you thought they would calm down?

LCMS-WELS leaders covet ELCA and long to catch up with them. They are closer than Siamese twins.

Pietism kills the concept of the Means of Grace, and the cell group rules over the congregation. The congregation remains, but it is just a place to gather and manage cell groups. Bishop Martin Stephan, STD, did this, adding his robotic and submissive followers as a para-church, attached to the parish. They were glad to see him leave Europe with his disciples (Walther circle) and his mistress.

After Walther led the riot, holding Stephan at gunpoint, robbing him of everything, and kidnapping him to Illinois, the fanatical sect settled down and tried to hide their Pietistic cell group origins. CFW himself, a die-hard Pietist, later confessed that Stephan was "a bit of a Pietist." (Servant of the Word, a hilarious hagiography) For reasons known only to those who appreciate the facts, Walther did not want the early history of Missouri written down.

The enthusiasm for and deception about Church Growth is a good example of how the Calvinist-Pietists take over. The ELS-LCMS-WELS sent their gullible, lazy leaders to Fuller, Willow Creek, and Trinity Divinity to unlearn Lutheran doctrine and practice. Trinity Divinity began in...you guessed it...Pietism.

Back to the rotten roots - But it is for the good of our dear mother synod/denomination (fill in the blanks).

Pietist-Calvinists have these characteristics:

  • They are humorless and dour.
  • They are burdened with the Law and have little joy in life.
  • To make up for their dead, shriveled souls, they look for ecstasy in following celebrities outside the sect and sometimes manufactured inside the sect.
  • They must have their way and find endless ways to get even with anyone who crosses them.
  • They often have trouble controlling their eating, drinking, and smoking.
  • They make sure they have the lion's share of money, but it is never enough for them.
 They went to Fuller, Willow Creek, and Trinity Divinity to find the right medicine. How dare you question their motives?
