| Ron Ash was chairman of Church and Change - Ski was on the board. Bishop Katy Perry was featured on Glende's profile picture for a long, long time. I edited the photo of her onesie for the sake of modesty. Glende's t-shirt spells T-Y-R-A-N-T. |
Pastor emeritus Nathan Bickel has left a new comment on your post "Ski Has Resigned, Effective 4-12-2013.":
Ichabod -
How do the members of the CORE have anytime to attend divine worship and also minister to their own families with all these sales and activities going on at the CORE?
Also - a couple of other questions:
Could you clarify for me and other readers about the purchase of the CORE?. Was it a grant by the WELS synodical big shots, free and clear, off the contribution backs of the WELS (collective) congregations, nationwide?

GJ - The purchase of the stinky bar is enveloped in clouds of smoke, billows of steamy fumes.
One - the bar is owned by St. Peter since The CORE is just a project of that congregation.
Two - Ski bragged in the Appleton paper that they bought it with a generous grant from WELS, the price listed as above $500,000. Did WELS pay the entire sum? See point three.
Three - WELS also loaned St. Peter in Freedom the money to remodel the stinky old bar. How much money is not clear. St. Peter has a $1 million annual budget, not counting pizza and chocolate sales, plus Wings for Jesus. Do not be alarmed at so much money dumped on a rich congregation. Holy Word in Austin (DP Patterson) gets free vicars every year, cause they love Jesus and you don't.
It sounds as if WELS paid for the entire bar and loaned the congregation the remodeling money.
I think - and this is from my fertile imagination - that the sugar daddy of The CORE found it awkward to give the money directly to the congregation, so the funds were laundered through the WELS mission budget. Congregations have messy things, like votes, budgets, public accountability. WELS headquarters has none of that.

| Watch the watch. Glende's church information is like that. The awkward parts are erased...fast. But lookie - the watch is gone but its reflection is still there on the table. The truth is still there when the facts are Photoshopped. |
