Now you are getting the hang of it. You can't get away from them no matter how hard you tried. I mean, if Hitler can't get away, then certainly you won't have the chance. :)


Ok, Hitler was a bit of a stooge, how about Himler? Is Himler's work been done?

On the LDS Churches geneological site is it possible to look up someone and see if their work has been done?

I think so, but it is notoriously unreliable for its accuracy.

I looked on that site and was a bit confused. All of my grandparents were in their database. But sometimes they were listed twice. Also I wondered who would have put their name in.

How are names put in (positive I'm not using the correct terminology here) for the work? By work we are talking about baptism for the dead, right?

Alter Idem: Why wouldn't he fully admit to all his knowledge? Why didn't he do more to help bring the perpetrators to justice? Because of the effort of a number of his enemies to try and pin the responsibility for the massacre on him.


??? I totally don't get that paragraph. Seems like a non-sequiter to me. How does A follow B?

Yes. Himmler, Goering, Goebbels, Bormann. . . they've all been done.

Is the scope of this cover-up not staggering, considering all the murderers and co-conspirators involved? Only one of the perps was ever brought to justice and that was many years after the crime.

Baptism for the dead and their temple work (read:endowments)

Work means:

baptism
confirmation
ordination (if male)
washing and annointing (initiatories... the best part, in my opinion)
endowment
sealing

Any member can submit family names. There are also members called who comb old records for names (I believe this is going on-line soon, if it's not there already.)

Of course, it could be that John D. Lee was the lone gunman and all the rest were snoozing on the grassy knoll. What do you think?

Shannon Novak's (partial) forensics on the remains bore out Lee's version of events right down to the gun-butt shaped hole in a young boy's skull.

Of course that doesn't mean there weren't a few lies in his version---like the one about him not shooting anyone.
