I was raised as a hardcore LCMS and my parents are about as fundamentalist conservative as they come. I'd gone to the same church my whole life until college (and my parents still drag me there when I'm home) and I went to school at the LCMS school associated with the church from 3 year old preschool till 8th grade. I was part of the youth group and had to go to many youth gaterings, which are basically big brainwashing conventions for teenageers.  I have a pretty good handle on the LCMS.
Sadly, this statement is pretty much true.
