Ignorance abounds among the WELS laity. There are several reasons for this. There is a tight inner circle of those with influence. A majority of the time, those outside of that circle will receive heavily filtered information if they are given anything at all. As has been pointed out here at Ichabod, dissenters are treated in a cult like manner. They may at first be massaged with a velvet glove. Remove the glove and there is an iron fist to pound them with. When I recently heard some tidbits about my former WELS congregation, I was amazed what members would still put up with. A pastor's wife was using the joint as her own sandbox. She was kicking sand at some life long members and they just kept putting up with it. I do believe that many members are just conditioned to tolerate it.
