| "They are discounting our personal merch, 25%! Whee!" |
I was watching a Christian group on YouTube - Life in 3D - two brothers and their sister harmonizing a blend of songs. They got excited with "merch," which they are promoting with the sound tracks and video. That made me laugh about the current fad and its name - merch - which is a substitute for the Gospel, a treat for the worn-out Church Growth Movement. WELS is deep into merch and racing down the slippery slope.

| "I share in the thrill of exciting new merch available at a discount." |
Both sects have tried to prop themselves up by denouncing and shunning their inbred cousins. They even reached the lowpoint of St. Louis and Ft. Wayne engaged in mutual shunning, not unlike the dying Gettysburg and Philadelphia Seminary merger. United Lutheran Seminary means both failing schools can share the same merch. Added value! as my insurance supervisor said.

| WELS has tried everything except the Gospel and Justification by Faith. |
The newest thrill is turning three congregations into one with two pastors. When I copied that material into this blog, the originator blocked his exciting new ideas.
