Not content to proselytize here on earth, those crazy morms are now trying to convert the dead.
Baptism in itself strikes me as one of the more ridiculous rituals in modern religion, but this takes it to a whole new level of crazy.
I wonder if they exhume the corpses before playing "dunk the Jew" in the "holy" water.

yes, they have a knack for making everyone have Mormon roots.....but then what can one expect from a religion where a man sleeping under a tree gets whacked on the head by a supposed Angel named Moron.....oh, sorry Moroni, and is told..'Hey Bub, start a new religion.'
It would be fitting if they made Hitler a Mormon.....he does fit in with their teachings....

And yet a another prize winning moment for the Mormons.
Hmmmm...I'm wondering when they'll just bleach all black peoples' skin to make them white and then take 'em for a DIP in the waters of Latter Day Saints?!
I swear Mormons kind of remind me of the really old horror film "Freaks" when all the creepy sideshow workers kept chanting: "One of us...One of us..."

Mormons will baptize anyone after they are dead.
They feel they are saving the soul.

Posted: 11/11/08 at 11:23amTheir total disrespect for people of other faiths is beyond nauseating.

What I find most amusing is how you can go to their ridiculous "family history center" or whatever they call it in Salt Lake or any number of other cities, you can be rest assured that they will somehow be able to prove to you that you ARE Morman based on your family tree....just cracks me up
and why, praytell, did they scrub the new Temple in San Diego from head to toe after a public showing.....are the rest of us really that unclean? Please.....no better than a crazed sect

Posted: 11/11/08 at 2:25pmI'm going to start a church and start UN-baptizing Mormons, living and dead. And when I do it, I'm going to yell "You're un-baptized infinity times a thousand, no backs," so it'll stick, like, forever.

Actually they have pretty amazing genealogy records. They do believe that everyone becomes a Mormon upon death so they keep track of death notices and birth records.
When an uncle died a few years ago without a will my Mom ended up going to their family records to track down possible living relatives. She found a couple. Note: my family is not Mormon but Lutheran/Congregational.

Posted: 11/11/08 at 3:48pmStephenie Meyer is a Mormon. I wonder how much of the proceeds from her Twilight books goes to the church and to its bizarre and archaic activities.

There was a show in the city for a while called "The Last Jew in Europe" that dealt with this topic. I think it is coming back to the city at some point in the future.
It was a very strange show that really made me think. However, it is very unconventional and polarized a lot of critics and audiences.

Posted: 11/12/08 at 7:05pmThose Twilight books have always struck me as bizarre and creepy, especially the main characters' relationships and interactions and emotions... and I've read all four to my little sister, who's a huge fan. I thought Stephenie Meyer might be either Mormon or seriously affected by some sort of personality disorder.

My Dad just sent me an e-mail from the great beyond.
"All of a sudden I got to marry six dead chicks besides Mom."

There's a difference?

They do that with every temple. And yes, that's exactly what they think.

Ten percent.

I think I read somewhere that they did bapbtize Hitler and Eva Braun. There are some strange and bizarre things about the church for sure and yet some of the Mormons I've met seem really nice. Don't anyone take offense because I said that, notice the word seem.
David Archuleta and Brook White from American Idol are both Mormons.

"Ten percent"
Are you certain of this orangeskittles? Ten percent is what members pledge to the church they belong to in many branches of Christianity, including the Mormons (which many do not believe is true Christianity, but that's another topic).
People who are active in their church and have the money often contribute much more, and at times specifically allocate money to specific functions and causes.

I used to work with a husband and wife who were ex-Mormon's and ten percent was just the beginning. Every time a temple is built Mormons are asked to pay even more.
It's not only Mormons though. For many years I was trying to find a church I could feel comfortable worshipping in. It was all about money, and it seemed that they all wanted ten percent. Oh and the guilt trips they would lay on people.
