It was like going to a movie theater.<br />3) The Lutheran churches condone frivolous divorce and subsequent remarriage. I'm not fellowshiping with such people.<br />4) A significant number of LCMS and WELS churches are sympathetic to the gay lifestyle.<br />5) Most Lutherans deny the efficacy or necessity of baptism.<br />6) Lutheran churches are bastions of man hating feminism. No Lutheran woman would tolerate male headship in marriage.<br />7) Despite all the outrage over abortion, Lutheran churches accept money from Thrivent. Thrivent funded planned parenthood.<br />8) A significant number of church goers cohabit. <br />9) It is fairly common for Lutheran churches to embrace the "Purpose Driven Life".<br /><br />I've encountered many lutheran pastors who just want a paycheck. They are phony religion workers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
