They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.

17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother, “I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”

There is no longer any need for forgiveness in Heaven for all has already been forgiven, there is no possibility of forgiveness in Hell, so that means there must be a THIRD "world to come" where forgiveness is both still needed AND still available -- this is Purgatory. LAZARUS found THAT out!

Am i reading this correctly ‘I should not be saving anything to there site ? It's a very clever ruse to get you to feed them information. My former boss is a Mormon 'bishop'. When I complained to him about this incidious practice, he said I could complete an official LDS form stating that I did not want to be baptized in their church. Now that's arrogance!

Posthumous baptisms by proxy have been a common practice for the Latter-day Saints Wow. The ultimate re-write of history.
This is just plain bizarre.
Surely if a person wanted to be baptized as an adult, he could have chosen, of his own free will, to do so.

But to make so many of these records unavailable to those who, for free, go to genealogy centers at LDS facilities is short-sighted. Free? You are feeding them valuable information about the descendants of the ancestors in their registry. Regardless of your personal feelings on the topic of re-baptism, your relatives may not share those sentiments. Out of respect, you have an obligation to advise your living relatives that their names have been turned over to the Mormon Church which may use that information for religious practices.
