UOJ Stormtroopers Cannot Tell the Truth, But More People Read This Than the Dishonest DP Report

Buchholz the Reformer. See also - Schroeder the Reformer.

Here is one whopper, among many:

"A subsequent decision by the majority of the Emmanuel, Las Cruces, congregation to retain Pastor Rydecki as its pastor resulted in the separation of that congregation from the WELS."

No, the congregation voted specifically to leave WELS.

Omitted from his own report - Buchie bragged at the ministers' conference that he was immediately foreclosing on the congregation's mortgage. He failed to do that, but started a splinter congregation in town, which meets at the conference room at a Motel Six.

That was the ministers conference where Buchholz had promised the entire Las Cruces congregation that the district would continue to discuss justification. So he told a whopper to the congregation.

After all, he studied Jeff Gunn's stealth parish four years or more. He had two different groups working on the errors of the Gunn parish, which was not allowed to join the district or WELS for a long time. They did take WELS donations and grants. After pretending to criticize Gunn, Buchie began defending the Rick Warren clone and snapping at the critics. "He repented. Have you?" Laity were aghast that their final, critical report resulted in Gunn being welcomed into the district and WELS. Buchie now sits with Gunn at conferences, the disciple whom he loves.

Another reversal, which I witnessed - Buchholz wrote to me against Rick Johnson. A few years later, after running through a ton of subsidy money, Johnson got a big, fat grant via Buchholz. Rick really chaps your hide, Buchie? Ha.

Here is a laugh. One WELSian told me to give Buchie a break, since he wanted to fix problems in the district.

The mega-whoppers told in dealing with justification are too numerous to count. I will summarize:

Buchholz -

• Opposes justification by faith and falsely claims justification-without-faith is Biblical.
• Simply cites passages without any context. Missing In Action - Romans 4:25. Someone read 4:24. Oops.
• Does not grasp the efficacy of the Word in the Means of Grace.
• Uses Jay Webber as his advisor on UOJ.
• Refers to Martin Luther as "Uncle Marty," grinning about his cuteness in front of the congregation.
• Bases his arguments on the recent publications of WELS, not the Scriptures or Confessions.

Without faith - the WELS motto, the fuel behind their Anathema sit!
