Here--lemme make it easy for you: leave me alone and leave my dead relatives alone. Don't use their names for religious purposes other than the religion they died with. Don't put any check marks near their names, nuthin'. Thank yew.

Your dead relatives are somebody else's dead relatives too. Who are you to presume everything for your dead relatives. Should you be the sole arbiter of what every other descendent can do for "your" dead relatives!?

The dead are the property of G-d, so what if they were once related to you, in the Afterlife, we will not be identified as Mother, Father, Sister, we will be related in sprit. I don't think anyone shoud descecrate someone's grave or any of the deceased's property, but no human being owns anyone's soul related or not.

Well, I CERTAINLY have more right to their memory than someone who has no blood to them and never met them and is in a different ethnic group.

The NERVE of you people to presume access to other people's dead relatives and changing their religion posthumously! SHEESH!

And let me reiterate what I said above in case you missed it. I have worked with and known Mormons for 20 years: there is NO QUESTION that as individuals they were among the absolute FINEST people I've ever had the pleasure to know. One, in particular from Texas, passed on about 15 years ago and his life still is an inspiration to me.
