On this topic I got some of the most rabid and nastiest mail ever. I had stated why I did not like either my family or myself being baptized after death and the reasons were not religious. I was told I should be rateful[ which I am ] and that the baptisms and sealings were meaningless. I began to wonder what list I had joined.! It would be so interesting to really discuss this but not be attacked. I have always found the folk at the LDS helpful , polite and respectful of others. Many people pointed out that they were"" not Mormon but--------" I also do not need quotes from the scriptures. So John if you can keep some kind of decorum it would indeed be interesting.
