re: #287 DaddyG

We provide proxy ordinances for our ancestors who we believe will have the choice to accept them or not. Some of our members got carried away and did ordinances for those not of their lineage - that was wrong and we removed those names from our records. We are instructed not to do that without permission from living relatives.

There are those who claim we are doing it on the sly becaue this pops up every now and then, but errors are more a function of sloppy record keeping and overzealous individuals not following our Church rules. If errors are found they are corrected.

I know it’s wrong but it’s persistent. Didn’t you guys accidentally baptize Obama’s dead mother?

Also, the problem is a little more persistent than you’re letting on.
