Winston Churchill defined an appeaser -
“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”
Someone suggested that I lay off the St. Peter Freedom's triple lawsuit against its own member, an attempt to make a restraining order stick, even though WELS Pastor Tim Glende's was tossed out of court like a moldy pizza.
The idea was - maybe Team Glende's lawyer would cut a deal and lay off the member whose wife was sexually harassed many times while Pastor Ski enjoyed the benefits of buying a bankrupt bar stocked with beer.
Appeasing Team Jeske is feeding a crocodile in the hopes of being eaten last.
Crocs attack and devour. They do not make deals. They do not compromise. If you bow to a croc, he will bite that much faster.
Doctrinal warfare will last until the end of history, whether that be next year or century.
As anyone can see from the loyalties of such leaders as Valleskey, Bivens, Olson, Buchholz, and Kelm - the only moderation is sidestepping in their direction.
A vast gulf exists between liturgical worship and popcorn cola entertainment sideshows. UOJ is ideal for those simpletons who think an untalented rock band is more effective than the Word of God.
The gulf between the Praise Bandits and the liturgical leaders will never be closed, although they promise much if only they are fed a few more grants, a bit more tolerance, and a silencing of all dissent.
UOJ and justification by faith are also polar opposites - not "two sides of the same coin," as Mischke and Webber have tried to explain away.

| UOJ and Church Shrinkers - a connection? Who trained Glende in CGM and treating women as property? Who supported Stolzenburg? WELS and ELS would be bankrupt today if people knew the truth. |
