You have those people that talk big OUTSIDE of council meetings or congregational forums, but once the meeting starts they sit there like little 5 year old boys being yelled at by a domineering authority figure....
That is how things get so out of hand...

GJ - I agree with that, Grumpy. That has happened all over, thanks to our corporate mentality.
I remember Richard Starr saying they gave people videos to watch if they came into their Brazilian mission post.
A farmer asked, "A video? You give them a video? They ask about the Gospel and you give them a video?"
Farmers have to deal with reality. They are in business, yet deal with the government and the Creator.
The corporate mentality has become dominant.
When Grant's was being liquidated, the managers were gathered together. One asked a question. The person in charge said, "You are fired. Leave the room. Any more questions?" There were none.
WELS does that with pastors and laity alike.
