None of us who contribute to this website intends to take your name to the temple after you die. We don't have the authority to prevent other Church members, though. What if your great grandson does it in fifty years? In the afterlife you are not obligated to accept the baptism. Even if someone inadvertantly baptizes you, your plans of living forever in hell will be uncompromised. "[Men] are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil;" (<a href="http://scriptures.lds.org/en/2_ne/2/27-28#27" rel="nofollow">2 Nephi 2:27</a>).

You do not have permission to baptise me or pray for me before or after my death. My "eternal soul" is not your responsibility and none of your business. It is between me and my "god". Please do not feel morally responsible for me. I am looking forward to an eternity of "hell", if you baptise me, it ruins my plans. LEAVE ME AND MY FAMILY OUT OF YOUR CULT!!! Please take my name off your list. Thank you Peace! Please do not pray for or baptise me without my consent. You do not have permission to baptise me or pray for me before or after my death.
