<2023-02-24T04:27:25.000Z> johnbudd1350: regarding this coreyjmahler.com/the-apostasy-of-missouri/ do I talk to my pastor about it? I'm still fairly new to the faith (6 months or so) but I've had some one on ones with him and this is insane to me 
<2023-02-24T04:36:35.000Z> SuperLutheran: I'd hold off on it fam
<2023-02-24T04:36:54.000Z> johnbudd1350: yeah the more I think about it and watch the video you're right 
<2023-02-24T04:37:04.000Z> johnbudd1350: all these people are like this 
<2023-02-24T04:37:09.000Z> SuperLutheran: If you've got a good pastor, chill with him and support him while you're in confirmation.  
<2023-02-24T04:37:33.000Z> SuperLutheran: This is the very beginning, the bleeding edge of all the craziness going on.
<2023-02-24T04:37:34.000Z> johnbudd1350: I will do that then, he's a good guy, but his personal hero is Winston Churchil (not joking lol) 
<2023-02-24T04:37:41.000Z> johnbudd1350: yeah I'm sure I'll hear more 
<2023-02-24T04:38:01.000Z> johnbudd1350: he also holds classes on rod drehr lol 
<2023-02-24T04:38:11.000Z> johnbudd1350: other than that though he's been great 
<2023-02-24T04:38:32.000Z> SuperLutheran: There's scuttlebutt going that the lcms is headed for a schism. If that's the case, your pastor might stumble into being on the right side of it. You being around might encourage him.
<2023-02-24T04:39:11.000Z> SuperLutheran: Now if harrison and all the crazies start imposing political purity tests, feel free to reach out to me. The VLP was founded with this sort of chaos in mind.
<2023-02-24T04:40:13.000Z> johnbudd1350: ok. How do I tell if my pastor is succumbing to the political purity tests? He rails against "modern culture" in basically every other sermon, but I still would like to know what to look for here 
<2023-02-24T04:40:57.000Z> SuperLutheran: Oh I meant political purity tests against the laity 
<2023-02-24T04:41:22.000Z> SuperLutheran: Basically trying to weed people out and see if they're too rayciss
<2023-02-24T04:41:48.000Z> johnbudd1350: oh. Well I told him to his face what I thought about churchil, and we had a very great discussion so I guess I shouldn't be too worried 
<2023-02-24T04:53:46.000Z> SuperLutheran: Awesome. Sounds like an open minded guy - in the right way
<2023-02-24T04:54:35.000Z> johnbudd1350: He is. I hope it doesn't come down to this. I'm going to keep it out of discussion until I am forced to. 
<2023-02-24T04:55:37.000Z> SuperLutheran: Good on you brother. I'll keep you and yours in prayer
<2023-02-24T04:56:22.000Z> johnbudd1350: Thank you, you too. I will take a look at your project more seriously now, though I do still feel like a fish out of water
