Scarred by the Abusive Lutheran Cult of Your Childhood - You Are Not Alone

WELS is an abusive cult - all the way to the top.
The only sin in this sect is teaching Justification by Faith.

Dear Pastor Jackson,

One additional dirty secret that transpired at WELS Michigan Lutheran Seminary, Saginaw Michigan in the year 197- was the practice of giving underclassmen a “Cardinal” as it was called. The upperclassmen would punch the unfortunate underclassman in the arm with their class ring leaving an indentation of a cardinal from their class ring that had the school's mascot on the face of the ring.

Such delightful WELS Pastor’s children showing Christian love to their fellow students. I never did fully understand what the term “Zex” meant, it was the term to describe freshman who were tortured in the junior version of a year long GA. Some who played along and became subservient now hold positions as WELS giving counselors, it’s enough to make one vomit. Abuse starts early and is encouraged in WELS.

Call me Zechs

Old Man Notling said they would line up CLC students at their cult school and slap their faces until one of them confessed.

Donkey basketball seems strangely fitting for the CLC sic.
Notice the packed bleachers.

From a Friend of a Lutheran Layman Who Reads - Do the Majority Really Believe Justification without Faith? Ha!

 Joint graduation for Concordia St. Louis, Concordia Ft Wayne, Mordor in Mequon, The Little Schoolhouse on the Prairie, and The Black Hole of Eau Claire.
The graduates of last three cemeteries named are the three guys up front.

A friend who saw the post about the CTCR Bible studies on Justification (without Faith) mentioned something to me that I would like to pass along.

 Sixth Commandment? No wonder the Church Growth epidemic has created so many symptoms of adultery, like the Grand Master's - Barth.

UOJ proponents present themselves as the 'real Lutherans'. They claim that the majority of Lutherans believe  UOJ, and that those who believe in JBFA are a fringe group. The Leader's Guide tells a different story. The fact that the LCMS  feels it necessary to warn persons who try to teach  UOJ to laity that laity will push back implies that they know that rank-and-file Lutherans don't believe  UOJ. And the talking points in the Leader's Guide intended to prove that  UOJ is real Lutheran doctrine sound like those Karl Barth double-talk quotes you've published in the past. 

Concordia St. Louis Seminary President John Johnson spoke of his great admiration for Karl Barth, until he recognized my reaction. For most seminary professors today, especially the Church Shrinkers, Karl Barth is THE theologian, their theologian.
