I couldn't care less what Mormons do with the names they collect. It has no influence whatsoever on the judgement of these sould.

However, I belong to several geneaological groups whose members have travelled individually and in groups to the genealogy center in Salt Lake City (which I have not personally visited). Some people get very incensed over this whole posthumus conversion thing, even after making extensive use of the archives and the database which the Mormons have worked so hard to provide.

I say to them, get over it, it's not harming your ancestors.

BTW a cousin of mine converted to the LDS church (while still alive) after marrying a member. So I'm pretty sure that all my ancestors have been "baptized."

Romans 5:14
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses even over them that had not sinned after the similtude of Adam's trangressions who is the figure of him that was to come.

The DEAD belong to G-d

Thanks for the back-up, Alouette.

BTW, isn't it strange that this mormon ritual (which affects no one), conducted by mormons in SALT LAKE CITY stirs up so much heat when the mormons were permitted by the Israeli government to desecrate a Jewish holy site in Jerusalem by building one of their institutions on it? Where were these people then? Or is that not as important?

The whole thing smells like another "we don't want Bible-thumpers like you supporting our historically free-thinking, naughty, rebellious people" campaign. Are these same people making any effort to convert Gore Vidal or Ramsey Clark to Zionism? I'm sure they'd much rather be supported by people like them.
