re Tiller, Glad to see again the difference between ELCA & LCMS brought up.

I knew Tiller could not have been LCMS and still doing his dirt.

Wichita, Kansas, was the home of TWO serial killers who had at one time been LCMS but later became members in good standing of ELCA congegations: Dennis “BTK Killer” Rader and George “Tiller the Killer” Tiller. At least the ELCA church where BTK was a member didn’t know about his penchant for murder.

Two publicly-known abortion-supporting politicians, Sen. Paul Simon and Gov. Jesse Ventura, were members of LCMS congregations. I don't think Simon's congregation did anything to discipline him, but I do think the pastor at Ventura's church did.

Also, I seem to recall that a serial killer by the name of John List may have been a member of an LCMS church.

Sin and Satan know no boundaries, but where open impenitent sin is publicly known, church discipline should be exercised.
