29. If they were actually visiting relatives of the deceased
and doing what you suggest, I'd agree with you. Are they, in fact, rubbing descendants'noses in the fact that they're "baptizing" their Jewish ancestors posthumously?

"Well, let's see if the mormons mind their dead being baptized in another religion against their wishes. Two can play that game."

This is an excellent suggestion from the perspective of one who's fed up with the Mormon's disrespect. However, I'm almost positive (correct me if I'm wrong) that this sort of thing is simply not done in Judaism. And most Christian sects would be appalled by the notion.

You might be able to get the Robertson/Falwell types to go for it, though.
