Please stop all proxy baptisms?


Some of you may already be aware of this -- Holocaust victims have still received their ordinances, and the Jews are incensed about it.

What do you think?

When my wife and I were on our mission at the SLC Family History Library we were warned about and occasionally saw a woman, reportedly originally a jewess and for a time a member of the LDS Church, who would come into the library and, using a stolen password, get into the IGI to search for names of Jews who had been baptized without permission of family, such as Holocaust victims and others.  She somehow works with others to disrupt the work being done for Jews, and has succeeded in getting much work annulled, if that is really possible.  At one time she was banned from the FH Library, but thru legal action regained access to the library.  How she got the passwords to access the IGI was a mystery all the while we were there, but on one occasion she had the passwork of a FH missionary at the library.

Since the IGI is available on home computers, perhaps she was coming into the library to capture the passwords other people had used. I have only vague ideas about how that works, but I suspect it can be done.

Interesting how opposed some of our work is. The link I posted here had a milder headline, but the one I first found said almost the title of this thread -- stop all proxy baptisms. Which of course, we can't do, it would close the temples, but it's amazing that they would ask this.

A local couple who just returned from a mission to the Family History Library said that some people would come in to process names and get ordinance cards -- the only place you can do that outside of a temple. They were saboteurs who would get the cards and not use them, but prevent others from doing the work, because it was already "in process."

They're just hurting themselves in the long run. All the work will eventually be done. And the Lord will remember at the judgment seat that they worked against Him.
