Post "In For Life" - what does it really mean ?

I cant help thinking that when the phrase 'In for life' was used regarding CLUB membership it was actually meant as a 'good will gesture' and not a 'threat', if someone told me i was 'in for life' i would take it that i was a club member for as long as i desired with no pressure to 'prove' myself - like a lifetime membership ?

Anyone else reckon that the phrase has been misunderstood at some point and taken the wrong way ? i reckon that could've happend really easily with the amount of Social pressures going on in the 80's and before, and as time went on and attitudes changed and people tried to be more 'gangster'(early 90's) and more materialistic or whatever they moulded this negative attitude to the phrase and its stuck ?

Just imagine, if for all this time, because of a mis-interpretation all these people had been wrong ?
