My church experience was much more chill! My Father-in-law was MSL and he was shocked when he found out about what my church was like. He was not super strict himself, but he told stories of hiding the beer from the minister when he visited. I was all, “hiding beer!? Lutherans were GERMAN!!!! “

Good times. He was a right wing nut, but i still miss him.
