Mormons' macabre Jewish baptisms won't benefit Mitt

...I attended a luncheon for the Holocaust Museum...Each year I ask myself, Why am I here? ...Tis a gruesome tradition.

I think of my grandfather, Rabbi Jacob Meyer Rakowski... My grandfather was the...last — descendant of a rabbinic dynasty hailing back to 11th century France. At age 82, grandpa was gassed in Auschwitz, together with 47 members of my parents' families. I last saw him two years earlier, when my parents, my brother and I were deported to Siberia.

I'm retelling this old history because now, with Mitt Romney possibly becoming the Republican nominee, it's important to remember that his Church of Latter Day Saints, the Mormons, had most likely baptized my dead grandfather, a ritual they've been performing on 6 million dead Jews...

So tell me truly, does my grandfather need to have his body snatched so he can be redeemed in a Kingdom of God he never wanted to enter?

It's interesting to note the Catholic Church had outlawed this rite as early as the 4th century. But it was resurrected 1,500 years later by American Mormons. As a result, today we have an argument between Mitt Romney, Rabbi Jacob Meyer Rakowski, and me — his only surviving grandchild. Plus 6 million dead Jews.

...they believe in choice, stipulating that any dead person can refuse to be baptized — but so far they'd heard no objections. (I kid you not.)

Every Jewish organization has begged the Mormons to stop. They promised to do so, but continue the practice. And they've never explained why they perform this necrophiliac aberration.

I therefore demand, for my grandfather and the rest of the dead, that Mormons immediately reverse all baptisms. They keep a great set of books and will have no problem to publish lists of un-baptized Jews...

What? You mean the Holocaust happened?!!!!?!!!!! There are dead people with names and stuff?!!!! Those Ron Paul supporters LIED TO ME!!!!!

But seriously, baptizing murdered people posthumously who would absolutely never have consented to it had they lived is beyond creepy, whether Mitt Romney approves of it or not.

Thank you for both your service AND your kindness.

RLDS is to MORMONism as BAHAI is to Islam

And referring to them incorrectly is guaranteed to get you an angry response...

A lapsed RLDS member I used to know would refer to the RLDS Church as "Pseudo-Mormons."

Poor Joe got it wrong again; when he claimed to have ‘held the church together’.
