Vladimir Lenin
I am going home in just over a week, and until now, I have yet to see one of Russia's central icons. Today, Ivan (my roommate) and I decided to see Vladimir Ilyich Lenin -- the man who started the Soviet Union. He died in 1924, but he was well preserved, and his body has been on display for over 80 years. Soviet citizens have long held this sight as an almost sacred pilgrimage. Today, the lines are not so long, but Lenin is still a unique piece of history that can be freely seen.

My Brother,
All churches are institutions of humans teaching humans about God. We can hope that the teachers and leaders have a close relationship with God, so as to have a meaningful and true message. However, our churches are no perfect, nor are it's leaders free of their own problems or misinterpretations. Certainly, I can think of some examples with your own church. Nevertheless, it is most important that a church keeps itself oriented in the right direction, towards the example of Christ. Over time, new truths are given, and some old ways of doing things are put aside. It looks as if that website you linked too addresses problems amid the GC during the late 19th century. I haven't looked at it in great detail, but I know that a lot has changed since then, and a lot of maturation has taken place. Like all of us, we are still this side of heaven, but aiming to be made perfect in Christ Jesus.
