This is not the case.
Instead, the LCMS has been on a campaign of doxing and slander against young Conservatives. Not just online, they have been pushing their defamation in the local newspapers where young traditional Lutherans. They're also in direct communication with online Antifa groups, who will spread the defamation around for maximum damage.
What initiated this, you might ask?
The LCMS publishing house put out a new edition of what we call the Large Catechism, with an academic commentary. A section of this commentary made it a point to defend pedophilia, along with other sexual sins, as venial and insignificant.
The reaction to this was negative, and the denomination, under our dear leader, President Matthew Harrison, has been on a revenge campaign ever since.
quotingThe average age of a LCMS parishoner is 60 years old.

That's the average.
Which means half of them are older.
