Yeah, Lois. And John is talking about "identity theft." Since the RLDS Church is defunct, how did the CofC end up with all its goods and chattels?

I recently bought an old copy of "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol," from the early 1960's. Though only 57 minutes long, it has the best song and dance scene in popular entertainment that pictures weasela and scumbags robbing the dead -- before he's even cold.

Plunder you,
Sell your cerements,
When we ought to be
In jail."
