and costly Temple ceremonies

Er what? Last time I went to the Temple it cost me gas in my car but that was it.

You said: Er what? Last time I went to the Temple it cost me gas in my car but that was it.

I guess you haven't been following.

If a Mormon so wishes, he can arrange for a formal ceremony in the Temple where his dead ancestor(s) can be baptized in proxy. I asked does anyone know how much this costs?

This belief that deceased persons can be baptized by proxy is the reason why the huge database of genealogy information is gathered and stored in Salt Lake City. Mormons are encouraged to see that their ancestors (although deceased) are baptized by proxy. And the genealogy data is helpful to them in identifying their ancestors, prior to their baptism by proxy.

Does that explain it? I wasn't saying that YOU had to pay to go to Temple. But what about this baptism by proxy? Do you know anything about that?
