LOS ANGELES • In yet another public relations embarrassment for the Mormon Church, a Utah researcher has discovered that slain Jewish journalist Daniel Pearl was posthumously baptized last year in a serious breach of church protocol.
According to records, Pearl was baptized “by proxy” last summer in the Twin Falls temple — much to the surprise of his parents, who learned of the event this week.
Twin Falls temple officials were looking into the matter Wednesday evening and could not confirm or deny Pearl’s baptism.
What they need to expose is the thousands of senior Mormons called to missions who search through city records looking for and submitting names for baptisms.
The cult knows no boundaries and the ONLY reason they're doing something about this is because of bad PR. It is the only thing that will change them.
The royal - who was killed in a Paris car crash in August 1997 - was 'baptized' by the church after her death, even though she didn't belong to the religion.
Diana - former wife of heir to the throne Prince Charles - was listed by her maiden name, Diana Frances Spencer, with her address as the family seat of Althorp, Northamptonshire. Her file also includes her birth and death date, according to the Daily Mail newspaper.
Other late stars to have been 'baptized' posthumously include Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe and Rita Hayworth.

MASH quotes I peeked in the back [of the Bible] Frank, the Devil did it. I avoid church religiously. This isn't one of my sermons, I expect you to listen.
If anyone has access to the records can you find out if Pres. Reagan has been baptized? That might make Republicans flip their crap.

It's been established in previous threads that the Mormon church has no real policies in place to stop people from submitting jewish names, and they make empty promises to the media just to get the heat off of them for a few more months until the next incident.
