Rmoney Mormon and Converting Jews After Their Dead

[Zoar]

I think it is very fair to ask Rmoney if has converted any dead JEWS over to his MORMON FAITH? and if so, whom?

 

[Bo-4]

MORE than fair Zoar. One of the weirdest Mormon things EVER (and that's saying plenty ;-)

 

[OldGaffer]

How does that work? Do they need the corpse, or just a picture?

 

[NightSwimmer]

Wonder if they gave Jesus a post-mortem baptism?

 

[OldGaffer]

Can they go ahead and convert the corpse of a Jew that had a living will stating he By God, did not want his corpse converted after he died, or can they just ignore the wishes of the dead Jew and his family and convert his dead ass anyway? Is there a time limit? Can they go back and convert Einstein? Or maybe Jews that lived before Christ? Blam, Noah is now a Mormon...

Enquiring minds want to know....

They only need a name.

So many questions!

Mormons Hijack Dead or Alive Jewish Souls

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often referred to as the LDS or Mormons) has spent millions of dollars microfilming, indexing and cataloging nearly every document known to man from every country on earth — including millions of Jewish records. Church members are encouraged to find the names of ancestors to baptize by proxy, which they believe gives the dead the opportunity to embrace the faith in the afterlife. They say that those who are dead retain their identity and free will and therefore can either accept or reject the rites performed for them. A hands-on proxy baptism ceremony, called an ordinance, takes place in a Mormon temple, and includes full immersion to wash away sins and commence church membership. It is supposedly performed, commentators say, for people who had believed in Christ, but had not had a chance to be baptized. To be baptized is to publicly acknowledge one's faith in Christ as Savior and Lord. Originally, the practice was reserved for ancestors of church members, but over the years many other people have been baptized posthumously.

From the founding of their religion in 1830, Mormons have respected Judaism as a religion. Thus in 1994, Jews were outraged when it became known that members of LDS were posthumously baptizing Holocaust victims and other Jewish dead. Many followers of Judaism find the practice highly offensive, something akin to the forced baptism of Jews practiced for centuries in Europe during the Middle Ages. Some see the practice as an implicit bias, an act of intolerance.

Holocaust survivors said Monday they are through trying to negotiate with the Mormon church over posthumous baptisms of Jews killed in Nazi concentration camps, saying the church has repeatedly violated a 13-year-old agreement barring the practice.

On Thursday’s Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert tackled the kerfuffle surrounding the controversial practice of posthumously baptizing deceased Holocaust victims in the Mormon church, which Elie Wiesel has called upon Mitt Romney to renounce.

“What business is it of yours, Elie?” Colbert incredulously excliamed. “I did some research and it turns out those 600,000 Jews are now Mormons!”

Can you say weird ass cult? Yes you can!

But you don't ask these questions about Harry Reid.




What a horrible thing they do. They are of the belief that you have to be baptized to live in heaven. (not uncommon among Christian faiths)
So they offer a baptism of souls they believe are unbaptized and pray for them so that they can live in heaven. Technically, that can be anyone who's not Mormon because when you join the Mormon Church, they rebaptize you.

 

[NightSwimmer]

I have no choice to make regarding Harry Reid. His own constituents can decide whether they want to vote for him. I will, however, vote in the Presidential election.

You can list similarities between Christianity and Mormonism all day long, as you can find similarities between Christianity and Islam. It is the differences that should matter more to a practicing Christian.

Then again, if Republicanism is your true religion, none of it matters very much anyway, does it?

 

[Zoar]

Is Harry Reid up for National Vote??? I assure you if he was I would NOT vote for His crazy MORMON arse.

Since Romney the MORMON BISHOP is up for a National election and since I have a choice in the matter i will say I would never ever ever ever ever vote for a MORMON and certainly not a MORMON BISHOP! I am disgusted and appalled at the MORMON "forcibly and against their will" converting dead JEWS over to their crazy arsed CULT. I am appalled and disgusted and angered by these MORMONS who just can't leave people alone.... and every NON-MORMON should be too!

I think bigotry is the true religion of some.
We pray for the non believers and those of other faiths who don't believe in Christ all the time. And one of us is a heartbeat away
from the presidency. And you guys put him there. Yikes.

Joe Biden? What did he do to you?

I think you're right. Then again, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
