Hi Doug;
Did you catch the one about Soapy Smith the con-artist?
One of his scams during the gold rush was to set up a telegraph office so the miners coming up from the states could send messages back to loved ones letting them know they made it to the gold fields. He charged $10 a message, and made thousands before they figured out that there were no telegraph lines in town.
It reminded me of the GB claiming they get their rules and doctrines form God, the only problem is the really is no "connection" to God at all. Just another SCAM on innocent people.
