Lois, the CofC leadership has jettisoned all RLDS doctrine, but has patterned the governing structure of the usurper church after the very, very authoritarian organzition of the Utah Mormons. It is a masterpiece of disinformation to claim the church was started in 1860 by someone other than Joseph Smith -- disingenously rejecting any doctrine he taught while recklessly emulating his dictatorial behavior during the Nauvoo period.
