After standing outside the temple at my first child's wedding some time ago, I was in need of some cheap therapy, and therefore wrote an article, and also started one of the many 'temple-marriage' petitions out there. Doing this really was quite therapeutic. It made me feel better, didn't cost anything, and of course never put a scratch in the mighty armor of god's one true church (A fly on an elephant's ass doesn't even come close as a comparison).
At dinner with a group of good friends (all nevermo) the other night, I was explaining how I will be missing my 2nd child's wedding later this year. As is normal with those not familiar with the cult, shock, outrage, and disbelief were unanimously expressed. I told them of my need for some more good 'therapy', and threw out an idea regarding temple work being done for the dead. When I explained what temples were actually used for (dead-dunking, etc), and that eventually these same rites would be performed for each of them after they die, they all seemed horrified. They couldn't believe it wasn't considered some sort of invasion of privacy, and to a person said they absolutely would not want this done for them.
This led to me deciding and telling them I would create a simple website trying to do something to increase awareness of this. As before, something tscc will not feel in the least, but again, we're talking about therapy here.
SO...I have 2 small requests. I've set up my humble little website. I'm just trying to kick against the pricks enough to help me feel a tiny bit better for having to again miss what should be a happy 'family' event. Could you visit the site, and make suggestions, preferably positive ones?
Also, in your opinion, will privacy laws with regard to the dead ever change so as to inhibit this sort of carte-blanch ability to baptize the world?
The permanent url will eventually be 'dontbaptizemebro.com'. For now though, the working link is:

Thanks to all.
