>>"Women act as proxies for women and men for men. There are witnesses present and a proper record is kept, although the ceremony does not make the person for whom the baptism is performed a Mormon." <<


Right. So it's not weird at all. Really. Records are kept.

Funny that they wouldn't want some dead guy to get baptized twice, but they don't mind if a living married one gets married again. Until they stopped doing that, of course.

<<Negotiations between Mormon and Jewish leaders led to an agreement in 1995 to stop the posthumous baptism of all Jews, not just Holocaust victims, except in the case of direct ancestors of Mormons.

They negotiated it-lol?

Well, the negotiations seem to have gone well looking at Florida tonight.
