Ridiculous Practices
Proxy Baptism of the dead - Necro Dunking
This practice not only directly contradicts the bible but is regarded as somewhat un-savoury by the rest of the non-Mormon civilised world. Adolf Hitler has been baptized three times and thousands of his Jewish victims have been baptized as well. Every time there is a public outcry over indiscriminate vicarious baptisms, the church comes out and promises not to do it again. And then it continues the demeaning practice until it gets caught again and then the cycle starts over. There's systematic correlation of temple records, so vicarious ordinances routinely are performed on the same person more than once.
This practice was just the other day condemned in the press (again) as they re-baptised Anne Frank and the well known Jewish Holocaust survivor and Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal
Mormon

What the bible has to say on the matter:

2 Corinthians 5:10 - Each one will be judged for what he has done in the body.

The official Catholic website - points out several contradictions with not only the bible but also The Book of Mormon with regards to this practice.

Masonic Temple Rituals

In March 1842. Soon after joining Freemasonry, Joseph Smith introduced a new temple "Endowment" ceremony including a number of symbolic elements that were essentially identical with their analogues within Freemasonry.
Mormon temple worship shares an extensive commonality of symbols, signs, vocabulary and clothing with Freemasonry, including robes, aprons, handshakes, ritualistic raising of the arms, etc.

Sadly the mormons today actually believe they are performing sacred ancient ordinances and ceremony's restored to the Earth by God through Joseph Smith.


These are re-enacted examples of various secret temple rituals, it should be noted that the pretend throat cutting ritual was ceased in the 1990's (I can't for the life of me imagine why?)

What about Blood atonement? I read they used to execute people for various crimes using a strange ritual called blood atonement in the early days back in Utah.
