He has read only a very limited amount in primary sources, relies chiefly on secondary sources (and only very few at that). Just take whatever he says with a large grain of salt and pity his ignorance. There's no point trying to respond to him, or make any attempt at engaging him. He is a broken record of error, lies and half-truths, and will not change. <br /><br />Ignore the man.<br /><br />I for one wish Larry Peters would ban him from participating here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-52135968500378262272019-08-20T18:07:19.677-05:002019-08-20T18:07:19.677-05:00Anony at 3:15 PM, where did you see that about sha...Anony at 3:15 PM, where did you see that about shareholders?!? Not from my post. In fact the Missouri Synod is a non-profit 501c3 corporation. <br /><br />Maybe <a href="https://i.pinimg.com/736x/56/eb/48/56eb48cd4ced3dabe4caa92377b72a25.jpg" rel="nofollow">this might be helpful</a>.Carl Vehsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348831096001668813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-44735361877147909852019-08-20T15:15:01.247-05:002019-08-20T15:15:01.247-05:00The Synodical convention is simple a corporate sha...The Synodical convention is simple a corporate shareholders meeting that has nothing to do with the Church, got it.

One would also pray that the people involved in the CTCR and CCM would also perform their duties in minimizing any damage to the Missouti Synod's doctrinal or corporate operating positions.Carl Vehsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348831096001668813noreply@blogger.com
