The quote which I put on the post that started the thread seems to indicate that's what the Jewish people fear. That their fallen will be remembered as Mormon. Whether that fear is founded or not, I'm not sure. I'd be willing to trust them over what I know about the subject though. I could be wrong. There is some talk in the article about databases being changed though.
I wouldn't want my last record to read: Daradon, 1979-2028 Mormon. In ANY book.
And even if that didn't happen I still wouldn't want to be 'baptized' by proxy. I think it's a legitimate complaint.
