WELS Discussions
David Jay Webber "I'm not able to participate to a great extent in this group right now, since I’m busy working on a big conference paper,"
Questions for Jay Webber, ELS, STM Candidate:
- Do you feel Marvin Schwan was responsible for his first wife's death? How could you and Shep take money from him and his foundation in good conscience?
- You were opposed to Thoughts of Faith (ELS/WELS) working directly with Floyd Luther Stolzenburg in Columbus. What made you switch sides? Was it because you began working with John Shep (now ELCA) in the Ukraine and would benefit from the extra funds?
- If you knew that Stolzenburg was forced to resign from the LCMS ministry and refused colloquy in the WELS, why were you and Shep willing to work with his Masonic congregation in Columbus?
- Can you harmonize a pro-live position with that compromise?
- If Church Growth is so bad, as you always claimed in the past, why were you so willing to work with the founder of "WELS First Church Growth Agency - LPR"?
- Even worse, why are you willing to work with Jon Buchholz, who is the enabler of Emergent Church guru Jeff Gunn - Church and Change poster boy?
- Do you still advocate giving communion to ELCA members, "because it is easier than way" - as you claimed?
- How is any of this in line with Biblical, Lutheran doctrine?
Questions for Jon Buchholz, WELS District President
- How did you manage to study Jeff Gunn's Emergent Church in Phoenix for years, while criticizing Church Growth, and end up endorsing him and sitting with him at conferences?
- How did you manage to sign the petition against Mark Jeske and endorse him on the synod convention floor? We all saw and heard it, jaws dropping.
- Why did you write that Rick Johnson's attitude toward worship "chapped your hide" and give him a huge synod grant. If he is so good, why does he not give money instead of absorbing even more?
- Why did you leave your Des Moines, Washington parish crippled with debt (encouraged by Church and Changers) and move to Tempe? That was so Tim Glende of you.
- Where does a DP get the license to lie to a congregation, saying, "We will to continue to study justification at the upcoming conference" - when you were planning to expel Pastor Paul Rydecki?
- At that conference, how could anyone with a brain brag about foreclosing on the mortgage of Pastor Rydecki's congregation? Is that legal, moral, ethical, or Christian?
- Why do you need Jay Webber's help in promoting the UOJ of Halle University and syphilitic bishop Martin Stephan?
- Have you even opened Thy Strong Word, which was given to you by Brett Meyer years ago?
- If UOJ is "settled dogma" as you claim, then why do WELS, Missouri, and the Little Sect need to have a pre-merger conference to promote it once again?
- Do you see a connection between Richard Jungkuntz' promotion of UOJ, his leadership of the first gay Lutheran seminary, and WELS' problems with homosexual clergy and file swappers like Joel Hochmuth?
