Elsie,
Sorry, I was wrong on the number of Methodists. The term Methodists include a number of denomination's worldwide. If you include all the Methodists in all the other denominations there could be as many as 80 million. The United Methodists, which is what most of us think of as Methodists have about 7 million members in the US and about 12 million worldwide.

If Mormonism is not true then nobody has been “Dead Dunked” I have never heard of anyone taking a dead body and “dunking” it. If The Mormons have a ritual that includes a dead persons name being said who cares? Or perhaps I should say Why would anyone care?

In the case of Jews killed in the holocaust - what ever happened to allowing others to worship as they please? It is a gross insult to Jews. What about the families of non-mormons who a convert baptizes their dead relatives for - without their permission - they care.

The only point I agree is that mormonism is not true - and necrobaptism is a mechanism to continue the brainwashing and cult indoctrination - enslavement to a corporation that lives for $$$$ in tithes

JAKraig "If The Mormons have a ritual that includes a dead persons name being said who cares? Or perhaps I should say Why would anyone care?"

That statement appears to illuminate the general attitude that mormons have towards the beliefs of others..."We mormons, believing ourselves to be superior to all other faiths, take upon ourselves the right to insult non-mormons by desecrating their dead, and we don't give a damn if others object!

The arrogance in this remark is outstanding.

If, as the mormons claim, that performing baptisms in the temple goes back as far as Moses and Solomon and is a “lost” rite, then it should be quite easy to prove this, no?

But they can’t and there’s a very good reason...John the Baptist...I do believe he came along much later.

They do claim to have “restored” the gospel, so the burden of proof lays heavy on them.

Why should people care if I perform a satanic rite over your family member’s graves then? What about eating halal food, that has been consecrated to a pagan/false deity? No one should care that it is conflict with the Bible, right?

Ask the writers of the NT; as THEY seemed to get REALLY upset at false teachings.


No MORMONs come on line yet; to comment on my many replies full of Mormon quotes?
