I have used Family Search and it's very informative- found lots of my family's genealogy thingys there.![]()
Just another excuse for the LDS church to perform baptisms for the dead. Every single name will be baptized by proxy.....because until every person on the face of the earth has received the Gospel of the Mormons, Jesus is going to be a no-show.
Washington and Lincoln made a personal appearance down at the Mesa Temple and got baptized about 30 years ago.
So.....just a heads up, when you die, the Mormons WILL baptize you whether you like it or not. I believe they only have to wait for your death certificate to be 50 years old. And a good thing they allowed the descendants of Cain (according to Mormons he was cursed with black skin when he was expelled from the Garden) to receive the Priesthood and attend and participate in Temple activities, back in the 1980's.
Sorry, MAJOR SNARK. Just not a good day.......all the same, that stuff is true. And animals don't have souls so they don't go to heaven.
Betcha my mom is first in line to be a proxy.....she's loca in the cabaza.
