Top Ten Crimes in the Wisconsin Synod - WELS

Nominate one of these candidates for the WELS Prison Ministry post.

Reader:

This is from WELS's Meditations, March-May 2014, for Monday, 17 March 2014.  The howler is in the second column which reads:  

"No matter what you did yesterday -- or failed to do -- and no matter what you will do tomorrow, God has forgiven you."

Now, try saying that and putting in a sin from the second table of the Law.  Were I to say, for example, that I committed adultery yesterday and I'm going to do it tomorrow, God has forgiven me.  Somehow, that doesn't make sense.  Nor would it were I to say "murder" or theft" or anything other sin, "big" or "little."  I'm not sure if this is an example of UOJ or just the inability to think or perhaps a combination of both -- a "bifecta"?  This is the pap that is peddled in Meditations -- and remember, this is the stuff that goes unfiltered into the homes of the unsuspecting.

Arizona Lutheran Academy (WELS) teacher Al Just stabbed his wife to death in bed and pleaded not-guilty. He was convicted, even though the Martin Luther College president vouched for him, and a busload of WELS drones came to cheer him on. Al Just married his children's babysitter when he was in the Big House. She saw the light and divorced him later.

“Dear Greg Jackson,

Normally I would just ignore your Website exaggerated comments built on hearsay, but because the comments made concerning Al Just were personal I need to respond.

It saddens me and troubles me that even though you have no firsthand knowledge of the Al Just case involving the death of his wife, Sharon, you pass a judgment of guilty. It's interesting to me
that Pastor Lloyd Huebner and a large host of collegues [sic], neighbors and relatives believed Al when he said he was innocent and they went to testify on his behalf. They knew Al and took him at his word and so they defended him and spoke well of him. Also, interesting to me is the fact that Sharon's parents also testified on behalf of their son-in-law even though he was accused of killing
their daughter. They too knew Al and took him at his word and so they also defended him and spoke well of him. While none of these people could see Al's heart they believed his word regardless of the verdict of guilty of second degree murder that was passed down by the jury.

Since I believe you also are not able to see a man's heart, and that you do not have first hand knowledge of Al or the incident I don't see how you can pass any judgment at all. The most you can do is offer an opinion or make a guess or speculate based on stories, second hand reports, etc. To imply that Al is guilty and to refer to him as "good old Al" is breaking the 8th commandment. I base that judgment on what you wrote. My judgemnt [sic] is based on fact and not hearsay. For this you need to repent.

I am...
Duane Rodewald
Dean of Students at Michigan Lutheran Seminary in Saginaw, MI
and nephew of Al Just."

Ex-WELS Comment about Rodewald's email:

I think Duane's comments prove one of the points you are trying to make.  First, the courts passed judgement on Al Just yet Duane implies that you are not qualified to relay the story because "you didn't have first hand knowledge."  Attempted guilt trip.  Second, Duane implies that the opinion of Al's buddy Huebner and his MLC students that believe Al, Al's relatives that believe Al and even his parents in law that believe Al trumps the opinion of the jury because "they knew Al."  It's not like a liar is going to call upon people who don't buy their manure. Third, Duane contradicts himself by going off point with the "knowing the heart" statement.  Seriously, how does Al's buddy Huebner and his MLC students, Al's relatives and even his parents in law know his heart well enough to testify on his behalf.  Can we all examine hearts or not OR is only Al's alliance qualified because they are on Al's side and believe his word as if Al was Jesus Christ himself?  Then Duane finishes with the WELS attempted power play by calling you to repent.  Or in other words, stop bringing the WELS to light.

I guess not all WELS called workers get to be judged on earth by a jury of their biased non-objective friends.

It's vintage WELS through and through.  The only people qualified to have an opinion are members of the alliance.  The facts of the case are not true because the alliance said so.  Anyone outside the alliance who disagrees is wrong.  It's a liars paradise.

John 16: 1-3 & 2 Thessalonians 2: 11-12.  

In Christ,

Name Witheld

[GJ - Al Just's in-laws and the MLC president realized that Al lied to them. They could not figure out that a woman does not roll over on a steak knife 27 times in bed, bleeding to death? That is how blinded WELS members and leaders are.]

II.

Pastor William Tabor did not pull the trigger, but he "aimed the gun," using his mistress to murder his wife at the Salem, Milwaukee parsonage. WELS let him take another call and move out of state, to Escanaba, Michigan. His personnel files "disappeared," but various pastors know his non-WELS congregation warned the sect not to accept Tabor - a known adulterer - as a WELS pastor. His mistress went to the Big House, but Tabor never served time in prison.

                                                III.

WELS Pastor Matthew Luetke was arrested for possessing and distributing child pornography recently.

 IV.

As of May 20th, 2014 - this was Hochmuth's profile on LinkedIn.

Joel Hochmuth was in charge of public relations for WELS when the FBI raided his home and WELS headquarters. They found hundreds of man/boy rape videos and graphics.

WELS Synod President immediately absolved Hochmuth, who then pleaded not-guilty and hired by chance the most expensive attorney in Wisconsin. How did that happen?

Schroeder and Hochmuth wrote a joint letter regretting ELCA's decision to accept homosexual ordination and marriage. In fact, WELS has homosexual pastors and knows all about it. Schroeder's response to someone informing him about about an active homosexual pastor was - "Write a letter."

V.

District President Ed Werner Appealed to the State Supreme Court of South Dakota

"On April 16, 1990, a complaint was filed charging Werner with six counts of sexual contact with a child under the age of 16 (a violation of SDCL 22-22-7) and two counts of attempted sexual contact with a child under the age of sixteen (a violation of SDCL 22-22-7 and 22-4-1). An amended complaint dated May 22, 1990, added an additional charge of sexual contact with a child under the age of sixteen. All of the complaints alleged the sexual contact between Werner and the young female parishioners occurred during church-related activities during the period from October 1987 to March of 1990.

The testimony elicited from these [other] women indicated that Werner had sexual contact with young women of his parish for every year from 1962 to 1990 with the exception of 1983 and 1986."

VI.

 Pastor Adrian was given a call to St. Paul Lutheran Church in Columbus, Ohio. He returned the call.

VII.

The congregation has an important place in Lutheran and regional history.
The organ is magnificent, kept in good repair.

WELS stole this property and the congregation's endowment. The same scoundrels kicked the congregation and pastor out of WELS for a minor (but childish) prank many years ago. The pastor apologized and paid damages for tagging the property of another WELS congregation, but that was not enough. The DP kicked them out.

Apparently WELS was furious that the congregation
was inviting people to the church for worship and organ concerts,
so they stole it and closed it up - just like the Episcopalian Presiding Bishop.

Pastor Leon Piepenbrink was convicted of multiple felonies in slipping a large chunk of change away from the WELS. Great software you installed, Mark Schroeder. It cost almost as much as this one theft, which happened long afterward the controls were established. Controls? - that did not happen before, did it? Why aren't those men in prison?

He was "helping the needy" and only got one year in the hoosegow.

Posted on Saturday, March 22, 2014 - 12:37 pm:       Pastor Boisclair, The story I was told is that when Greg Jackson left a more liberal church body to join the WELS, no one sung its praises like he did. Now he is doing the exact opposite.

No one relays bad information more loyally than a WELS pastor or layman.

GJ - I thought everyone should know - When another child porn dealer in WELS is arrested, who is attacked?

I am.

I told DP Robert Mueller, "If you had told the truth about WELS when I was inquiring about joining, I would never have joined. Every woman and child who is raped in America - you are responsible."

I gave Mark Schroeder two years of grace on this blog. He is worse than ex-SP Gurgle, which is a most unworthy goal to attain.

The Kingdom of Lies - Not To Be Confused with the Kingdom of God

"Brett, they love me in ELCA. I will be the
presiding bishop forever. You can bank on that."

The prevailing method of administration in the ELCA, WELS, LCMS, ELS and micro-minis is to lie. They
walk about with the aura of great sanctity, a glow of infallibility that turns into laser beams of rage if anyone questions them.

The leaders have this in common - they have to deceive to protect the reputation of Holy Mother Synod. Therefore, if someone is engaged in criminal activities a few feet from the synod president and the rest of the staff, SP Schroeder says, "We didn't know!" The arrest record showed something else - they had to know. Hochmuth had been caught before and had been in counseling for man/boy porn. Schroeder was asked, "Was this the WELS agency?" No answer.

In the latest case, the abuse began with minor girls during seminary, about 10 years ago. No one knew?

WELS pretends to know what brand of toothpaste everyone uses, what keyboard a WELS organist has touched in the last week, but they do not know about the most heinous crimes under their noses?

The old system worked well, just as it does in secular politics. People who knew the truth were bribed or threatened into silence. Therefore, no one knew officially. If there was a leak, it was identified early and the source was beaten like a rented mule.

Local stories - like DP Ed Werner abusing minor girls in his parish - could be "not known" officially. The rejoinder when someone impiously asks about an arrest or a valid story  is - "Who told you?" That question is followed by the source being beaten like a rented mule, with all kinds of wild and wicked things said. One of my sources mentions my name just to watch the fireworks.

Although everyone knows about the avalanche of lies, the method works to keep people from getting the official synodical treatment themselves.

Or - if a pastor correctly concludes that Holy Mother Synod is corrupt and apostate, the DP uses crackpot members to drive the man out of the ministry. The DP knows it only takes one or two members to have party. He may even become "concerned" and contact some on his own. Or he delegates the job to the Circuit Pastor or another minion, all of them eager to do some wet work so they can be DP one day.

Waldo Werning and Paul McCain are two free-lancers who took on this work for the LCMS. Werning has gone to his reward, but McCain continues to serve himself, somewhat chastened and hampered by instant blog reporting.

That is the big problem today. A local news story is no longer limited to the printed paper or limited broadcast of the station. The facts travel instantly from multiple sources on many forms of social media, which are leveraged by easy linking to email, Twitter, Google Plus, and heaven knows what else.

Beating up on the source is difficult when there are two independent sources which cannot be threatened or bribed.

Silence is golden for the liars. Darwin Schauer's sordid tale of child abuse in the LCMS, rewarded with him getting a new pastoral position in Minnesota, was erased from Steadfast Lutherans. Therefore, it never happened.

When a Missouri Synod contact began berating Woody Allen (proven guilty long ago) for his child abuse, I said, "Why not start with the synods? We all know how bad Hollywood is." I received this pious response, "So and so is not here to defend himself, so I erased your comment." I could have said the same thing about Woody, except he was never convicted - unlike Darwin Schauer. The thread was erased and I gave up on breaking down the absurd use of the Eighth Commandment/Matthew 18 in the LCMS and WELS.

Lizard-hands (Murdoch) has more friends than Martin Luther does at Mequon.
I am not allowed to say that the NNIV is owned by Murdoch. Sorry.

Synodical reasoning is thus - "If we tell the truth, the innocent will be shocked and abandon us in droves. Therefore, we have to maintain our public sanctity and tell a bunch of convenient stories to keep our reputations secure."

Another WELS Child Pornographer - Will SP Schroeder Absolve Him in Public, As He Did With Joel Hochmuth?Valleskey, Bivens, and Panning Taught Him Forgiveness without Faith

Matthew D. Luetke, a minister at a WELS Lutheran church in O'Fallon, Mo., was charged Wednesday with promoting child pornography, a felony.

ST. CHARLES COUNTY • A Lutheran pastor is in jail after detectives with the county's cyber crimes unit raided his home Tuesday and discovered child pornography on his computer, police say.

Matthew D. Luetke, 35, of the 5000 block of Danielle Drive, was charged today with promoting child pornography. He had been under investigation since December, when undercover detectives began trading child pornography with him, police said.

Luetke has been a pastor at Good Shepherd Evangelical Lutheran Church, 8425 Mexico Road, for about a year, police say. Before that he worked at churches in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Police say he had no previous criminal record.

A day care at the church is attended by about 50 children, police said, but they do not suspect Luetke had any improper contact with any of the children. The church is sending out a letter to parents about the arrest as a precaution, police said.

Officials at the church could not be reached for comment.

Police found nine images of prepubescent girls on Luetke's home computer.

When interviewed, Luetke admitted that he had been viewing pornography, and that his wife and children knew nothing about it. In a written statement, he said he had "developed a problem with viewing child pornography" in 2004.

Luetke's bail is set at $100,000 cash only.

ST. CHARLES, Mo. (KSDK) - The St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney's Office charged a 35-year-old area pastor in reference to a child pornography investigation.

According to court documents, the St. Charles County Cyber Crime Task Force searched a home in the 5000 block of Danielle Drive for evidence of child pornography. Authorities found on a computer nine images of young girls between the ages of 9 and 13 in various poses and exposing themselves.

Prosecutors said the homeowner, identified as Matthew Luetke, confessed to being the sole operator of said computer, adding he'd developed a habit of viewing child pornography. Luetke further admitted to touching himself while viewing said images.

Luetke, a pastor at the Good Shepherd Evangelical Lutheran Church in O'Fallon, told police he had exposed himself and allowed his genitals to be touched by female relatives when they were pre-school age when the family was living in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Those incidents are said to have occurred between 2004 and 2008. [GJ - While in seminary at Mequon]

The St. Charles County Sheriff's Department does not believe Luetke had any contact with children who attended daycare at the facility or the children of parishioners, but church officials are notifying parents as a precaution.

Matthew Luetke was charged with one count of promoting child pornography and remains jailed on $100,000 bond.
