Another Jewish baptism

Re: Another Jewish baptism
This is relevant:
Technically, Pearl's baptism does not violate Mormon baptism rules because he was not a Holocaust victim. But followers have also been told to restrict posthumous baptisms to direct ancestors.

Re: Another Jewish baptism
How many thousands of Jews have been and are baptized?!?!
Has no one ever heard of the EXTRACTION PROGRAM???

Re: Another Jewish baptism
I know of a handful of Jewish converts who love to offer their deceased relatives baptisms. Their love for the practice is great. Partially because they love the irrational reactions of some of their inlaws :)

Re: Another Jewish baptism
It's sort of interesting to see how the media has picked up on this sort of mundane issue (non-Holocaust Jews being baptized). Romney made it become a hot button, I suppose.

Ug. More. I'm already fielding dozens of emails off the MC directly to Helen a day for interview requests. I should just put her email up there in place of mine for a while.

Re: Another Jewish baptism
Niel Pearl is a great drummer. But I didn't know he was Jewish. Or dead. Or am I thinking of someone else?
