“You really should have learned from that fiasco how your suggestion was foolish, immature and only serves to show how unfounded your objections and claim to feeling offended really are.”

Never said I was offended personally, Grig. To me, any silly
ceremony that is extra-biblical means nothing, and has no
power to do anything other than get a well-meaning mormon
wet.

“Your lack of commitment to this makes me wonder if you greatly exaggerate just how offended you are, or just like having something to feel offended about. If the latter, the good news is that you will be able to feel offended over this for a long, long, long time because the work will go on till the second coming and for a thousand years after that.”

Well, you certainly can dream! And I am happy that you are
happy!

Would you like me to also have an Unsealing Ceremony in your
wife’s name this week? We have a BOGO SALE! Buy one ceremony
and get the second FREE!

[and were you planning to call her name to resurrect her??]

Best,
ampu

Sorry ampu, when in post 123 you talk of “how offensive the mormonism practice of baptizing people of other faiths is” then switch to saying “Never said I was offended personally” you lose all credibility. You can’t embrace the idea that is is offensive in one post, then deny being offended in another post and hang on to your integrity.

“Would you like me to also have an Unsealing Ceremony in your wife’s name this week? We have a BOGO SALE! Buy one ceremony and get the second FREE!”

And so we go back to square one.

As I said before, go for it, it wouldn’t bother me in the least, even if you really did know my name and her name.

Again, don’t be half-hearted about it. If you really believe it, put some sacrifice into it. I doubt you will, I doubt you’ll even invest 5 minutes to do some cheapo imitation made-up-on-fly ceremony because you don’t really believe it has any real purpose or function. Of course it’s easy enough to claim you did it, so if you really want me to believe you actually did it, and put some effort into it, post a video of you doing it on youtube.

Denying a couple can be sealed and creating an un-sealing ceremony to un-seal a couple you don’t believe are really sealed in the first place take a special kind of double-think that not many people can achieve (thank goodness). You don’t believe in it, you just want to try and put the shoe on the other foot, and don’t like it when we say it fits just fine with us.
