“...when in post 123 you talk of “how offensive the mormonism practice of baptizing people of other faiths is” then switch to saying “Never said I was offended personally” you lose all credibility.”

No problem. As a mormon, who by definition views all non-mormons
as apostates, I doubt you ever viewed me or others with any
credibility at all anyway.

Never the less, it is very offensive to those Catholics and
Jews - and I’m neither.

“As I said before, go for it, it wouldn’t bother me in the least, even if you really did know my name and her name.”

Since you continue to write about this, I suspect it does
bother you... :-) or you wouldn’t keep writing to tell me
it doesn’t bother you.

“Of course it’s easy enough to claim you did it, so if you really want me to believe you actually did it, and put some effort into it, post a video of you doing it on youtube.’

I can imagine that if someone took time to make a video
for YouTube, showing an Unsealing Ceremony, it would be
widely viewed and copied by tens of thousands or hundreds
of thousands of mormons who left the cult and became
Christians! For them, it would ceremonialize their freedom
from oppression, legalism and bondage.

Someone should do this for the benefit of the huge ex-mormon
population. Really, it should be an ex-mormon, for authenticity
sake. Color Country, here’s a great ministry for you!

Since it would be widely watched by mormons (those still
trapped in the cult), it would also serve another great
purpose.

CC, what do you think? I think Grig is really onto a great
idea.

“You don’t believe in it, you just want to try and put the shoe on the other foot, and don’t like it when we say it fits just fine with us.”

No doubt it fits you perfectly.

OH NO! Since leaving Mormonism, I want nothing to do with ordinances, ceremony, or oaths.

I truly understand what the Bible says when in talks about the "heart" being the "true" indicator of a person. You can swear oaths all day long but it's the heart that counts, and God sees your heart.

We will be happy to do the same for your ancestors, and if you don’t find any reason to find that offensive, then it is inconsistant to validate the claim of others to being offended.

“Since you continue to write about this, I suspect it does

I respond because I find your responses funny. I’m looking forward to the video too.

“No doubt it fits you perfectly.”

Well, I never was a good dancer.
