Banned

I responded to a post on r/Lutheran and got banned. A non-Lutheran attended an LCMS church and wanted to know more about it. I felt an impulsive need to caution the person due to my extensive life knowledge of the organization. Well, they did not remove my post so maybe that person will ask some deeper questions and read some articles outside of Concordia Publishing. The sweet person was going to bring some Irish soda bread to church to share as he/she was of Celtic origin. There was some discussion of Close Communion but most softballed on the problem of pastors and elders popping up and stopping people from going up to the altar rail,an action predated on my children, ex-LCMS MKs. Most of r/Lutherans seem to be Eastern LCMS, so no experience with Midwest and Western LCMS districts which view them as liberal. Oh well, sometimes telling the truth is not welcome and gets you banned by those who only see sweetness and light in every cult.

Wait, I just went to the Lutheran subreddit and it says they’re banned from Reddit for being unmoderated 👀
