You are right, it is a DISGUSTING practice. It is also deceitful and arrogant! God bless you and yours, Grey, for fighting the good fight.

In the practice of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or "Mormons"), a living person, acting as proxy, is baptized by immersion on behalf of a deceased person of the same sex. After giving a short prayer that includes the name of the deceased individual, the proxy is immersed briefly in the water, then brought up again. Baptism for the dead is a distinctive ordinance of the church and is based on the belief that baptism is a required ordinance for entry into the Kingdom of God.                                               http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptism_for_the_dead

 

 

Anyone know the actual wording of this 'prayer'?
