Re: New Member

I seem to recall a big stink made about this a few years back, with the
end result being that the Mormons promised not to baptise Jews anymore.

Even if they did, if the benefit they gain for doing what I think is a
phoney-baloney procedure with no one listening on the other end of the
cosmic phone line is enough for them to meticulously maintain these
records... So be it. If I were Frum (as opposed to having ancestors
bearing the last name Frum) I would probably see it differently.

I don't know if you've met a lot of Mormons... I have, there are a lot of
'em here in Arizona. All those I've met are honest, clean living people,
(it's not like we are talking about something like Santeria or Voodoo
of Catholicism here... I don't recall reading about Mormon pograms
against Jews in Utah...) and it doesn't bother me so much because in
THEIR MIND they are being altruistic. Their intentions are altruistic.

If you are so opposed to what they are doing, you always have the option
of not using or recommending the fruits of their labor. I don't mean any
insult to you, but if you are that offended, don't use it.
