2. Not have been divorced within the past five years, unless the divorce occurred before the member was baptized.
I wonder what rationale, if any, there is for this rule.

Oh, I am Mormon and I find the modern industrial amusement ride called temple work a perversion of what God wants. The temples are completly distorted right now. The should be a place of joy, music, discussion, learning, and reflection. It should be open to everyone to experience and reflect on God. IF the people involved spent any time reflecting on the life of the person the work was being done for and really honored their life, I might be more understanding towards it. Right now it is just the ticket they have to punch to get on the ride. I bet few if any of them remember the name (or even care who the person was) that they just went through for.harmony wrote:It's a huge difference.

Both would be better off and get closer to God by serving their fellow man instead and stopping all this non-sense at this point. It certainly wouldn't hurt; it might cause people to think better of the Church; and I don't think people would be complaining about their dearly departed being baptized.
