The mormons were doing this over 100 years ago...

They got names of strangers from genealogical files just as they do now..

Back then they had excuses to get the names in order to dead dunk people NOT RELATED to them...

This is real “cute”...From 1899...

“The Mormons have a pretty idea that each name we resurrect, revere and transcribe in genealogy represents a living spirit, who thus honored and, as it were, invoked, ever after becomes one of our guardian angels. Think of having thousands of such beneficent spirits as protectors.”

“The Mormons have a pretty idea that each name we resurrect, revere and transcribe in genealogy represents a living spirit, who thus honored and, as it were, invoked, ever after becomes one of our guardian angels. Think of having thousands of such beneficent spirits as protectors.”

From the article, in 1975, Already we have collected hundreds of millions of names, and the work goes forward in the temples and will go on in other temples that will be built. The size of the effort we do not suggest should be impressive, for we are not doing nearly as well as we should be.

I believe I’ve asked you this before, but either you didn’t answer or I have forgotten the answer, so please indulge me.

What harm does this practice do? It may offend you but does it harm any living human? If so, how?

Thanks.
