I will add one more positive for the Church of LDS today. I’ve been trying (with some degree of failure) to research my Dad’s side of the family. Virtually all of the genealogy sites charge or at least require registration. The Mormons’ site is absolutely free. Sometimes, all you need is a name & thanks to them, I found that name which took me all the way back to Ireland. They’re not money-grubbers, for sure.
Their salvation is between them & God. We need to keep them in our prayers imho.
Tracing a family tree is important to some Mormon rituals. Given that they believe this, yes they at least are being charitable about it when they could charge for facilitating an ecclesiastical favor.
Prayer is definitely good.

The Mormons use the system so they can baptize your dead parents into the Mormon religion. They market themselves well so they can get you to join, be baptized, and then pay 10 percent of your gross income, not to mention you have to volunteer to work in Mormon business ventures when “called,” literally, by the LDS. At least, you do that if you want to get the Temple recommend and access to the Celestial Heaven.
