future generations looking back and thinking he converted to mormonism. They seem to think a person's name is fair game. It isn't.

I don't think the world has any clue how rampant the baptisms are. More and more names are going to come out.

in a national debate between Obama and Mitt come October?

I've never understood why Tiger Woods didn't complain about them doing his father.

Jews just need to develop a Super-Baptism Shield to counter the Mormon Baptism Ray. And then, if the Mormons make a Super-Baptism Shield Breaker Chant, the Jews can create a Mormon Chant Nullifier Beam."

The Church just keeps yapping about these baptisms being a breach of protocol, but are they doing anything about it? If the rule is that the person must be a member of your own family, then why aren't they checking up on that?

I don't like the term "muckraking ex-Mormon researcher" though. Isn't "muckraker" an insult to someone who investigates a cult? Talk about shooting the messenger!

Exactly...how is "whistle blowing" or "exposing the truth" considered muckraking? Oh right, when the stuff you expose turns out to be filthy muck done by someone else.

Doesn't anyone realize that their new policy re not dead dunking jews is a glaring admitance that their church is not true? (Disclaimer: I do NOT condone dead dunking of any sort and think its dumb).

Think about it, isn't dead dunking a part of their plan of salvation? Don't you have to be dunked in order to get to the CK? So, by admitting that they won't dead dunk millions of people, doens't that in itself say that their plan of salvation is flawed?????

All you have to do is take any tenant of the church and take it to the next thought for it to be false/flawed etc.

They have an answer for that. In the Millennium, they will have perfect records of everything, and everybody in human history will finally get their chance to be dead-dunked. Imagine the ash trays in spirit prison with all the people waiting to be dead-dunked.

Of course, this is also their out. They could say that the dead-dunking program has been completed preparatory to the Millennium, due to the world being too wicked to continue (because of all those complaining Jews). Then they'd need to come up with a reason to get people into temples, but the Mormon church seems good at whipping up that sort of thing.

All one has do then is say to oneself, "if everyone will get their chance to be dead dunked during the Millennium, then why not just wait until then?"

I used to think these thoughts when I was a very small child. I suppose I didn't get the brainwashing DNA.

I wonder if there has ever been a study done why some people can be easily brainwashed and others can't, even if members of the same family?

I think the dead-dunking is one of the things which finally made me realize that there's something wrong here. They spend countless dollars and time doing vicarious works for the dead.

One day, it suddenly hit me and I went, "The dead?! Are you kidding me? Let the dead take care of themselves and do the work in this Millenium that you're waiting for, when the people themselves can walk right up to you and request that their work be done."

Why does it all have to be done now, when they say that the 1,000 year Millenium is the period of great temple work to be done?

What a waste of time and money.
