I had a feeling things were going rapidly downhill after Lutheran Brotherhood changed its name to “Thrivent.” The term “thrive” being a big far left-lib fad word at the time, it signaled to me that there were termites in the belltower. Recall the Thrive T-shirts the libs used at one of their funerallies. The excuse then was to broaden the appeal beyond the church.
When the Somalis were first brought in they were rural Christian ones persecuted for their faith back home, legitimate refugees. When nothing bad happened though, because, after all, the first wern’t radical muslims, it lent cover for the import of the drug addled zealous nasties that had persecuted the first group.
The pastors listen too much to the money men and the lawyers.
