I read this and thought two things.

1. What a colossal waste of human efforts and energy.

2. What were they thinking? Their records are already messed up big time and now you make it easier for them to mess them up more?

I never got to Celestron Tribe Level 12 Full Kolobian in attempting to save dead people so I guess I can't comment on how enjoyable verifying and searching and pondering and praying your chosen dead person will get to be posthumously processed by you.

Since I can’t go to the temple anymore to do baptisms for the dead, I’ve been using my cat as proxy. I have the scratches to prove it.

In the name of the father, the son, and the holy ghost...yikes!

I needed a chuckle and you provided it!! Thanks!!

Mormon web programmers, deprived of the normal activities of web programmers worldwide (largely coming up with new ways to collect and look at porn), have to do other nerdly things.
Like this.

How profoundly sad.

Progenitor porn?

No matter how good they get at this gathering of names and doing the temple trotting, they won't get any more than 10% of the names of all the descendants of Adam & Eve. And then if you take into account the humans who lived before Adam & Eve, it drops to something around 0.000007%.

Gonna be a jam-packed 1,000 years! Hopefully robots and AI will be involved.

Elohim is working on it.

Logic performed for the sake of irrationality.

And, Gawd-Almighty needs these idiots to figure out all this for him?

There will be so many good souls lost for eternity because of some inadvertent glitch--yet some, like my g-g-grandfather, will be baptized, endowed, and married 50 times over!

How arrogant of Mormons to try to help God become more efficient.

"Hey, God, I see that a lot of people up here are getting baptized by proxy but my family hasn't gotten to me yet and I really really really would like to be a mormon."

"Yeah, buddy, I know, but you'll have to wait your turn; hey, I didn't make the rules around here, Joseph Smith did, so blame him."

I wonder if they need an interview wit the spirit prison warden before their "work" will take?

Oh, of course.
The warden has to insure they're not working on the sabbath, following the word of wisdom (no spiritual coffee, you know!), and aren't associating with any anti-mormons in the spirit world.

You know, when you actually write things like that out, they sound even crazier than they are...

LOL!. There is a scene in a movie I can't remember (just the scene) where a ghost is sitting on a bar stool next to a person smoking and drinking looking longingly...

I thought it might be "Ghost." Thanks!
