1). If the Holy Ghost does it, why do you here on Earth need to be part of the process?
2). And if it is the right thing to do, why has the LDS Church agreed to not do it anymore?
3). And since they’ve previously agreed not to do it anymore, why do they continue to allow it?
I would appreciate an honest answer to those three questions.
1). If the Holy Ghost does it, why do you here on Earth need to be part of the process?
As I said in one of my post the Holy Ghost witness to me than I investigated the Church and part of the Lord’s commandments is one has to be baptized.
The decease has no physical body that ordinance was to take place on earth the dead can not come back!
So it is done vicariously by those who generous and lovingly give up their time to help another be on their way in their journey preparing for the Great and Dreadful day of the Lord.
2). And if it is the right thing to do, why has the LDS Church agreed to not do it anymore?
3). And since they’ve previously agreed not to do it anymore, why do they continue to allow it?
I am a lay person I am sure there is more to understand than is being reported.

Whether the work gets done now or in the 1000 years of peace it will get done.
All will stand before God and be they clean or not if this option of vicarious baptism for the dead was not available many good souls would not be fit for the Kingdom and would be denied to fulfill the Lord’s ordinance and therefore would could not enter into the Kingdom of the Lord.
Romans 14
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.
Mark 16
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
John 3:
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the [Celestrial] kingdom of God.
