Instead of naked touching with water, just make it "cool" to get dressed in white and dunked by their priesthood before important Mormon events. Just imagine the psychological power of re-invoking what you did as a kid.

"In addition, while scripture makes it clear that baptism is necessary for salvation, early church leaders noticed that there is no scriptural prohibition against being baptized more than once. Members would often be rebaptized before serving missions or when marrying, to show determination to follow the gospel during their mission or marriage.

After the death of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, in 1844, rebaptism became a more important ordinance in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), as led by Brigham Young. Young led his group to the Great Basin in what is now Utah, and most of his followers were rebaptised soon after arriving as a sign that they would rededicate their lives to Christ. During the "Mormon Reformation" of 1856–57, rebaptism became an extremely important ordinance, signifying that the church member confessed their sins and would live a life of a Latter-day Saint. Church members were rebaptized prior to new covenants and ordinances, such as ordination to a new office of the priesthood, receiving temple ordinances, getting married, or entering plural marriage."

But they want to interview children younger and younger instead of making their testimonies stronger and stronger with "Christian" ordinances.

Shows you how crazy abusive Mormonism is.

On second thought maybe they ought to take Robert Kirby's suggestion of public confessions?

A certain bishop of mine ... who shall remain Unnamed ... Insisted it was currently 3 pounds of crickets + 15 % tithing although we suspected that the additional 5 % went into his bank account in Aruba...

BYU dudes would love this! It would be the newest, bestest cheap date:

BYU Guy: "Let's get rebaptized together, so we'll feel more spiritual."

Girl: "I usually don't get baptized on the first date, but, I do have some sins to wash away."

BUY Guy (reaching under his car seat): "Great. Here's a white tee shirt and shorts for you. Let's do it--or, should we get baptized AFTER our date?"

Funny but it could be one of those "bridge" things for Mormons. No premarital sex because baptism washed it all away and newly minted virgins are committed to finding "the one" now that they've seen the errors of their lusty youthful ways.
