Did I tell you that I serve on the Board of Directors for our LCMS District?

You can come to the LCMS but, be prepared. We’re having political battles ourselves (conforming to mob-ocracy).

Sure sounds like they are taking a moral stand.

TAX the church.

No, you didn’t tell me that you’re on the board of directors. In which town do you live?

Last year, I joined a Missouri Synod church, Redeemer, of Waukegan. Last April, my dad, a retired ELCA pastor, told me that the ELCA committee on sexuality recommended that the ELCA never ordain gays, and he said that the leaders would probably do what the committee recommended. Since the ELCA agreed with me, I joined an ELCA church, St. Philip, in Glenview. I probably won’t leave the ELCA because my fiance attends an ELCA seminary.

Last time I attended a Lutheran Church, the Pastor was railing against Dubya from the dais. I’m no fan of his, but it was obvious that the Pastor was spouting communist dogma. Made me sick. Looks like the major European denominations have been infiltrated.

In some Lutheran synods, there's no need to learn. No one asks or proposes, as a core teaching is Sola Scriptura. The Bible doesn't err.

Satan & his minions have gained a foothold of the ELCA & I have to give credit to those who remain within her to fight for her soul.

The Lutherans and Episcopalians are two of the more ethnically-based denominations of Northern/White Christians. The strategy by the Left/Evil community here might well be to divide the white nominal Christian community from the practicing Christian community.

I dunno. I think they’d be even happier corrupting everyone. As long as the practicing Christians have no power to influence anything and they make offerings, send their children to be educated, they’d be more than happy to welcome all into the flock, the more the merrier. Bigger flock, greater political influence.
