Mitt Romney's Mormon church baptized President Obama's mother back in 2008. WTF?



Mitt Romney's Mormon church baptized President Obama's mother back in 2008. WTF?

President Barack Obama’s mother was posthumously baptized by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on June 4, 2008. That’s the day after Obama won enough delegates to get the Democratic nomination. Graphic below of the LDS information regarding her:

It's safe to assume they have done this to every living dead person jberryhill Sep 2012 #1

1. Re-enacting (practising) being Gods. They take different acting parts and play god.
2. Celestial Marriage.
3. Baptising the dead.

They have the largest collection of genealogical records in the world. They try to baptise everyone in absentia. There was a huge law suit brought by Jews concerning the fact they were secretly baptising Holocaust Jews who died in WWII. They were caught and settled. Then they were caught again doing the same thing. And again they were snitched on for baptising Anne Frank.

You too may be part of the Mormon Church and don't even know it.

Religion must keep the "believers" entertained, and buying into whatever weird little rituals they can think up. Some use elaborate costumes, decorations, and relics. Some hire entertainers now - bands, singers etc. They place themselves on a "stage", wearing their vestments of rank and claim to hold the keys to everlasting life. It's been a solid sell now for a few thousand years.

The more complicated, complex and confusing, the better. It keeps people from having to think for themselves and discover who they really are.

Anyway, that's my take on it.

It's not like they are doing anyone harm by this practice. In fact they believe they are doing good. People need to unknot their knickers and pay attention to what is important.
