re: #183 Obdicut

That’s not what I’m comparing it to. If you ask Lutherans, Presbyterians, etc. what happens to good Jews in the Afterlife, they’ll tell you that they realize the truth, as revealed by god. How is that not exactly as insulting and weird?

You said:

Second of all, how is this different from other religions saying prayers for the souls of the departed of other faiths, or asserting that the good people from other faiths will be converted in the afterlife?

So I think that is what you compared it to. But as to your second point I will say the following. 1. Again, Jews do not do it, I think it is weird and disrespectful and insulting regardless of who is doing it.
2. It is particularly offensive in the way it is done by Mormons with the specific namings. It is more offensive than if it had been done en masse as others do it.
3. This is a practice of the Church, and the Church while it has made statements against the practice has not done enough to stop it. In fact over the last 10 years, Jewish groups have ceased dealing with Mormon church on this issue finding them to be uncooperative.
