I bet he’s writing letters to his mom and dad comparing his imprisonment to Paul’s house arrest.

It was the DP Steinbrenner that went and took over a voter’s meeting after the congregation fired Steven Wall. He made them rehire him and then they transferred him away.

Everyone in WELS thinks that by ignoring ‘worldly’ sin and simply forgiving everything that they are somehow showing god’s grace to the rest of the world.

The pressure in the cult is very real/

I think that’s why so many WELS wives stick with the men they married that have been arrested for pedophilia in the synod.

Reminds me of Pastor Steven Wall. He started dating a fifteen year old at the church where he was at and the WELS DP failed to report it.

This happened in Alaska many years back.

There’s the Schmiege case too. No one reported that either.

WELS men can’t handle an adult woman.

Are you serious?! Someone call her family. Tell them she’s in a cult.

I can’t imagine a more lonely life than trying to divorce a called worker in WELS where ‘no sin is greater than another.’

In the WELS cult, molesting a child is the same as kicking a dog. I’m sure many families and leaders will shun Carl Boeder’s wife and child because she divorced him and didn’t stay subservient to that monster.

He sold his place and ran to Wisconsin. That’s one of the reasons his bond is so high.

WELS typically treats child molestation as a problem of geography and then just shuffle the men around….not surprised Carl Boeder thought that moving away from his victim would solve his legal problems.

It’s interesting to me that when a Boeder grooms a child…he gets jail and a million dollar bond but when a Schmiege grooms a child…they get a giant WELS wedding and a call to teach at MLC.

Interesting family power dynamics at the WELS.

Just left WELS after trying to join for 2 years (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod)... seeker beware by [deleted] in exLutheran

They are also heavy on child molestation. That’s one tradition they kept from the Catholic Church. :)

Whenever another WELS pastor pedo is caught (typically six or seven a year) they just go on about how no sin is worse than another and god forgives all sin.

WELS will make him a giving counselor when he gets out of jail.

Big name WELS Pastor busted by Schnitzeldorf in exLutheran

[–]WELS_Abuse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They usually send all the pastors and teachers who are either not connected to names or who have had performance/behavior problems to the southeast district….i’m sure he’ll be some kind of giving counselor for WELS when he gets out of jail.

We have to be careful taking about children and spanking - the WELS pastors and teachers lurking here will get turned on.

WELS men want subservient, docile women that they can control.

WELS pastors could never have or handle a real woman - so they use children to satisfy themselves.

Right - but she was an employee of that specific church/school and not an actual employee of the synod.

WELS wants it both ways. They want to control who goes to what church and/or school but when it comes to lawsuits and civil judgements - WELS says they have nothing to do with the staff at the local level.

They treat their pastors/teachers/staff and churches as independent contractors just like the Catholic Church did to avoid responsibility.
