They won’t perform the rituals for you until you are dead. They don’t act as proxy for the living.

My faith is in the cleansing blood of Christ alone, through faith - not of works. Ephesians 2:8-9 is one of my favorite passages.

I have no belief that it does any good, however having done it, I know the primary role it is in Mormonism, that they believe they are acting as saviors to the dead, that the encouragement is used to keep people in that cult and that bothers me.

It also bothers me that the LDS church keep promising not to do this, yet keep doing it any way, when anyone who really knows Mormonism knows that to NOT do it, is in essence denying their Mormon faith and stating it is a false religion - something Mormons fear more than anything.

I also see it the same as desecrating a grave. It is not only an insult to the memory and faith of the dead, it shows the arrogance of Mormonism.

Unless they are very poor fact checkers.

But, being MORMON and all...

Have ALL the ‘apologists’ slunk away?
