Greg,
What boggles my mind about the WELS is the near opposite approach to dealing with sin among the leadership. Their words and actions mimic those of the Pharisees, teachers of the law, ect. Nearly everything they say, do and write looks like it is for image control. None of the apostles hid their personal pasts nor did the cover up for each other. They did the opposite. They were the first to acknowledge their failures and those of their brethren leadership. Compare that to the WELS where the leadership denies their failures and punishes others for exposing them.
