.....After you are dead.


It seems the Mormon church are posthumously baptising people into their church after they are dead !!



It is claimed that this happened this month to Anne Frank .

"Anne Frank died of typhus in a Nazi concentration camp,but this month she was secretly co-opted into the Mormon church.
So claim researchers investigating the Church's practice of of posthumously baptising dead people ---sometimes without the knowledge, and almost always against the will of surviving friends and family.

Last week it emerged that the parents of the nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal had been baptised recently (into the mormon church)in Utah.

In an apologetic staement the church's public relations dept neither confirmed or denied the story."




Why ???

because they're fked up.

or, if you're one of them, to save her sole or let her ascend to a higher circle of heaven.


It's so wrong and disrespectful - not just of her, but of everyone they do this to. It's about the 7th or 8th time they've baptised Anne Frank though, so she must be pretty much on the top cloud by now laugh

I'm no fan of religion, but they really are talking the fking piss. They also baptised a famous Nazi hunter posthumously as well.

Indeed. They've been marrying dead people (to each other) if an article I read some years ago can be believed...

They have done more than one as far as I know, as well as the chap you mentioned. In fact, they seem to be making quite a few of these side door baptisms. What with this, and their magic pants, it seems Mormonism is really trying to be as fked up as I thought it was.

Perhaps people do not realise just how many they have baptised after death?

There was an article last week somwhere. You can't do it unless you are a relative, or knew the deceased well. The guy who was doing this got a bking from the church elders, iirc.
