Insert Obligatory Mormon Joke Here
I knew, in an offhand way, that mormons had a tendency to do postmortem baptisms, at least to their own families. I wasn't aware, though, that they tended to do this with Jews. A lot, apparently.
I've known a lot of people who were mormons over the years, and they're just not this weird. Are they just hiding it well?
Doesn't this just make you wonder what is going on with the world? These people are doing this and it sounds very unholy to me. Crazy

Posted by: Pat on December 12, 2002 09:43 PMWe don't baptize people postmortem, we baptize vicariously postmortem, and only if the family gives permission. A living representative of someone who is dead is baptized in that person's name. We believe that anyone who is baptized in this manner has just as much right as a living person to refuse the baptismal covenants. And don't worry... if you express that you don't want to be baptized in a living will, that choice will also be honored. ;)
