They marry their dead relatives and ‘save’ them as part of their family. That is why Mormons are so big on genealogy.

And, like any good multi-level marketing program, the more you save under you, the higher up the ladder you go.

What you just said has nothing to do with the Mormon religion.

BS

First nobody is forced to do anything, period. Most kids look forward to the time they can go to the temple to do baptisms for the dead. Nobody keeps track of how many people you go through for. My wife and kids are LDS they have never had a complaint about the church except that they didn’t want to follow all the rules.

There is no immodesty, they wear a heavy undergarment that completely covers their entire torso and then a heavy white jumpsuit over the top of that.

The idea that someone doing something like a baptism ceremony for someone who is dead being a problem is silly. If you don’t believe in it why should it bother you. If it isn’t approved by God then what difference does it make. I don’t care if someone makes a Voodoos doll of me and sticks pins in it.

I think the motive is pure they want to make sure everybody is baptized. They think it is necessary to enter Heaven. Catholics believe that and many protestant religions believe it. If you don’t believe it then make fun it if you will but don’t label it evil.

It seems many people who leave the Mormon faith have to defend their leaving and bring others with them.
