I have a question about this. If you die and get baptized posthumously do they alert your living family members? Let's say I died tomorrow and someone did this to me, would my kids receive some kind of notice? What about my parents or siblings? Would it matter if they were LDS or not? (My dad is non-active, my mom and sis are Nevermos like me, and I have a sis and bro who are TBM)

They are all too busy with their church callings to take them down. HA! Ours are still up...sigh. It's my husband's fault. He's a lazy bastard. He puts them up in November before it snows but then doesn't take them down for months following Christmas. This year I told him to please not put up any lights outside but he didn't listen to me.

I really don't understand why adult mormons aren't supposed to watch rated R movies! I don't want my little KIDS seeing a lot of violence, drug use, sex, swearing etc because I don't want them to imitate those behaviors, therefore I don't let them watch rated R movies. However as adults aren't we smart enough to watch a movie and NOT go out and snort a line of coke because it looked cool? I talk

I can't help but wonder if my inlaws feel that way about their son. When my sister-in-law was a teenager she went through a phase where she didn't believe in the church and that upset her parents much more than the fact she was sexually active with multiple partners and she'd tried to commit suicide. Forget therapy, just take her to the bishop!

That is correct. My in-laws are TBM and still live in the ward where my husband grew up. Getting married in another church would have been equally contentious as getting married at the courthouse or in Vegas. Plus it was just so easy and everything was free. I think that's how they suck you in...reception halls and judges cost a ton and when you're 19 and flat broke it's very appealing. I reme

I'm not quite sure how to answer you, Dogzilla. Was I guilted and manipulated? Yes. But when it came down to it nobody forced me to do anything. I choose not to blame them completely because I know they weren't getting together and plotting "Let's do what we can to make her wedding a miserable experience she'll regret forever." I thank the rest of you for your support. Nobody else u

I am not Mormon nor have I ever been. My parents aren't, my grandparents aren't. But even not growing up in the church I grew up in the church. When all your friends and everything around you is tainted by Mormonism, it's hard not to get sucked in by the culture. I spent my weekends at church-sponsored dances. Once I even got kicked out for dancing too closely with my boyfriend...good idea kickin
