It is--as someone above has said--the effect on the living that is the problem. It is presumptuous and obnoxious--in my opinion--to manipulate the memory of the deceased for anything that they would not have wanted when alive. I just don't buy it.

Yes, you are correct. I guess I was thinking of the "effect" on the souls of the deceased. But the survivors must be not just brokenhearted but infuriated when they hear of this kind of presumptuous nonsense. Just one more reason why I left...

Because we all know that the eye-opening experience of death and say, perhaps, meeting Jesus Christ with his arm around Joseph Smith and saying: Let me introduce you to someone, would never change anyone's mind. :-)
