| ELDONUTs imagine they are cool when they wear masks with their papal costumes. Hint - the masks do not match and the belly-ropes are sagging. |

| "Church Growther, no Papist! Church Growther, no Papist!" Why not both?! |
I would love to have a list of all those seminary professors who studied at Fuller-Trinity Divinity- Willow Creek and/or joined the Church of Rome wannabees.
Robert Preus published Justification and Rome because he was worried about Romanism among his own faculty members - decades ago. Ft. Wayne was also hotter than Georgia asphalt for Church Growth, even promoting a DMin in Church Growth, the prestigious degree earned by Kincaid Smith, ELS. Smith admitted in print that my criticism of Church Growth made him angry.
Anger is the key term for the apostate synods and sects. The lesser anger - shunning - is used to warn people against sound doctrine. The greater anger includes extending the Left Boot of Fellowship. WELS calls it "fellowship issues," which has to be fun when going to summer camp every year in Pasadena. That is where they mix with ELCA and the other sects they routinely degrade. They all believe in safe sects at Fuller and the satellite training centers. Indeed, the WELS-ELS-LCMS pastors are twice as likely to get a date in Pasadena.
Laity must be disciplined too. No one dares to identify the foolishness of Fuller, not even a little bit.
The final result is a rush to the exits. Look at the seminaries collapsing, no matter how many statistics they run up by counting foreign students, women, and online one-course-at-a-time people.
Likewise, the largest church attendance members are the most offended and the quickest to quietly leave. Large buildings close with fat savings accounts and synod staff gladly liquidating the property and keep the profits. One pastor said, without laughing, "My mission was to close that congregation." Heads nodded a silent Amen.

| Everyone needs to smile more and invite people to come to church, because the Fuller stuff did not work. |
