Another Example - WELS Vicar Driven Out. Happens He Objected to an Obnoxious Physical Attack. WELS Never Forgets, Never Forgives Dissent

Suppressed joy is revealed in posing with Scott Barefoot,
self-appointed sodomy expert.
Why these two? This illustrates a basic WELS problem -
their well protected Lavender Mafia.

Don't worry folks. The original poster erased this thread from WELS Discussions.

Communication must have broke down because the conversations we talked about were concerning my bishop who wanted me to illegally marry a couple to which I said no.

Donald Tilbury This happened about 4 years ago. It took over 8 months to schedule a meeting in which I was basically told I was wrong for bringing it up.

Donald Tilbury Don't be a victim of the system. Don't feel like it was your fault. I know there are many more people out there that have been abused by the WELS. You have a voice. Don't feel guilty for doing the right thing.

Richie Draeger Donald, we are hearing only your side of the story. It seems it is much easier to cry victim than take responsibility.

Donald Tilbury I understand that. I've waited quite a few years in order for the emotions to die down in order to bring this out. I've also asked MLC professors to ask why I was not allowed...they don't know.

Donald Tilbury I've also asked the ELS seminary president why as well...his response after asking President Wendland,"uh, this is unusual but he [President Wendland] didn't give me a reason. I don't know why you're not allowed to serve in the ministry."

Richie Draeger from the thread of emails you provided, it seems many people talked with you. It doesn't seem, from your emails that President Wendland made the decision unilaterally.

Kevin Scheunemann I know nothing of this situation except the very vague posts here. One thing I observe is: lack of forgiveness and grace in Christ.

If the Pastor was failing the proper Matthew 18 instruction, for correction and admonishment with you, did you approach the pastor with proper Matthew 18 instruction for his error?

Fred Lingenfelder What a surprise! This is the 2nd Scripture reference cited in this matter. Here is a 3rd: 1Peter2:20ff.(NASB) For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor (grace) with God. (Continue to the end of the chapter.)

Donald Tilbury When did I say I wanted to enter the ministry after this? When did I say I wanted my situation fixed? I posted to let others know this happens. In no way would I want to go back to the WELS. Did I say I was Luther? No, did I use him as an example? Yes,

Donald Tilbury Another question for discussion is should the seminary provide an objective reason for not allowing people to continue in the ministry? The only reason I say this is because then opinion and personal bias of any sort would have to be more closely scrutinized before allowing a major decision to be made.

Like47 mins

Fred Lingenfelder There is no guarantee of being certified and receiving a call even if all coursework is completed satisfactorily, and there is no objective basis for such decision. It can be a "judgment call" with sadness by dedicated and godly administrators.

It would be helpful if that was made clear to all sem applicants.
