Comments on: Uncle Sam Says It’s All Over – It’s All Over but Coming Clean with Confession and Consideration of Resignation, by Pastor Rossow http://steadfastlutherans.org/?p=3854 An international fraternity of confessional Lutheran laymen and pastors, supporting proclamation of Christian doctrine in the new media.

We didn't do anything wrong; we wouldn't think of it! Didn't you just read us telling you so? And all our little imitators are repeating it around the lists. They think BJS should repent for causing a fuss (and not being sufficiently gullible.) Repent? Who, us in the Violet Vatican?

While I'm sure this matter was perfectly routine from the Government perspective, justice has been done. The intellectual property that is represented by the trademark "Issues, Etc." rightfully belongs under the control of Todd Wilkin and Jeff Schwarz. Secondly, I give thanks for the wise and Christian members of the Board of Directors who were able to act as a check on the power of the Synod President. This is a perfect lesson about why we should not allow additional, unchecked executive authority to the SP. Finally, I pray that those responsible for instigating this needless strife and division repent of their sins, sincerely and in public. Barring that, they should be removed from any position of responsibility in the church. I thank God today for good civil government, here with regard to the Patent and Trademark Office.

What I should have qualified is that anyone on the B.O.D. who signed off, in agreement with the PotS, on the pursuit of legal action either for the trademark, or was okay with the legal threats against Todd & Jeff, should also resign.

Who, if I understand correctly, was the one who introduced the motion to withdraw the opposition to the trademark application, which was approved by a UNANIMOUS vote of the Board. As for the Teflon Pope and his minions, well, that's another crate of apples. Regarding resignations and such:

Rossow, Thank you for your diligent pursuit and report of the facts in this matter. I apologize if I seemed to imply otherwise on another thread. I wanted only to wait for official documentation before commenting. What you have linked to here is most useful: the actual legal documents pertaining to the case. I also eagerly await a statement from the BOD regarding their involvement in the resolution of the matter.
