LOL. I’m not sure if it appropriate to post the link, but there is a website whereby one can posthumously make a dead Mormon gay for eternity. This website was created in a mocking response to Mormon proxy baptisms for the dead. I will neither confirm nor deny that I have made some prominent dead Mormons gay.

This website illustrates the ridiculousness in proxy baptisms for the dead so the dead can be Mormon. There is no choice in the matter and has zero actual effect on the soul.

What I believe you are missing is with many, many people doing family history searches as far back as they can, they are being mislead to believe a family member may have been mormon.

You think being concerned about rewriting personal histories is not a concern? For many it is a matter of heritage. Not just affiliation.

I am 100% Irish, 5th generation in the USA, and am very proud of my Roman Catholic heritage. If I were to do some research and find that back somewhere one of my grandparents is listed as mormon, I would be shocked. Would that mean my Roman Catholic heritage was a deviation from what the family really was, or is it mormons rewriting history. Same thing would apply to the Jews from the Holocaust.

Just as the died in the wool TBM Mormons would be up in arms if we took the records of those who left their homes & made the difficult massive journey to "Zion’ & had them posthumously baptised Catholic.

I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. I’m saying that it’s highly unlikely that there will ever be a situation in which all of the world’s records are destroyed except records held by the LDS Church. That’s just fanciful thinking. The only conceivable way by which such an event could occur is by the LDS Church raising up an army, conquering the entire world, and subsequently destroying their records. That’s the only means in history by which the records of entire civilizations were destroyed and replaced by those of another. Any catastrophic event that ruins large amounts of secular records will likewise ruin their LDS counterparts.

I’m saying that concern over the perceived lack of respect is a legitimate concern. Concern over a rewriting of personal histories is not.

I agree. Your point is clear.
