Your problem is you don't respect the religious beliefs of others.

I would find no problem if the Satans church of the devil baptized any of my relatives, for I know they are of no affect on me or my family.
Thus the church of Joeseph's myth has no affect on any others deceased realtives so leave them alone, huh Dubbs?

Nope. The bottom line is the deceased has no say ergo let them stand as they lived, proudly and correctly in history as in life. IF any living person wishes a ceremony for their loved one at the time they pass that is fine. If it is in conflict with a deceased person's religious choice in life, not fine.

I mean this isn't brain science. It doesn't matter what ANY religion believes, you can't kidnap dead people for your own expediency. No matter the religion.

Your not understanding the concept, we are not baptising them into the church and calling them a Mormon, the person has the choice to accept the baptism or not. So really, if they don't want it, they can say so. big whoop.

Also, it is usually the relatives who turn in our names for the work to be done. So it is their right to do this.

A relative has a right to do this? Give me a @#!@ing break Dubbs. Do they also have "right to your "estate" ?
Pleasssssssse pull your head out!!

Yes I do. I respect all religions as long as they respect humanity's right to live and die with respect untarnished by the whim of the expedient generations. That alone does not mean that this overtly disrespectful act to place the last signature of their life by strangers is beyond the pale. I don't really care if you don't care, I care and millions more care and they care because they are not Mormon or not Catholic or not whatever life thief there is.

If a LDS member submits his ancestors' names, then no act of disrespect has happened. If a list of names is purchased from a religious institution without disclosure of intent, then disrespect is the least of what has happened and is going to happen.

Then they have the right to say no, and not give the list, it's not that big a deal, it will all be worked out in the millenium.

Dang, that's 992 years off...

And we are having no affect on their life, death, nor any other aspect of their life. Would it surprise you to know most of your ancestors have been baptized? Would it someone change your thoughts of them?
