The writing down ain't. In a century or two, MY descendents will be shown 'proof' that their ancestors were really Mormons and so they ought ot be too.

Again, as has been stated previously, we don't claim the names of the baptised dead as members. We don't know their status - whether they accepted or rejected the ordinance. We only did the work for them to give them the opportunity to accept or reject.

I'm sorry Spiff, I don't follow you. Why can't our ancestors do the accepting themselveS? Why do they need a specific system??????
