The Mormon Church Baptized Pres. Obama’s Mother…After She Was Dead

It has been determined that Barack Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, was baptized by the Mormon Church after her death.  The baptism occurred five months before the 2008 presidential election.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints confirmed that the president’s mother was baptized into the Mormon faith, and it doesn’t appear that the president wanted this to happen.  Dunham died in 1995 from cancer and after President Obama received enough delegate support to win the Democratic nomination for president, someone in the Mormon church improperly conducted the ceremony.

The baptism was first reported by AMERICAblog’s John Aravosis.  Aravosis found the record on the Mormon genealogical website, FamilySearch.org.

Mormon Church spokeswoman Kim Farah gave this statement: “The offering of baptism to our deceased ancestors is a sacred practice to us and it is counter to Church policy for a Church member to submit names for baptism for persons to whom they are not related. The Church is looking into the circumstances of how this happened and does not yet have all the facts. However, this is a serious matter and we are treating it as such.”

      Who cares about that Mormon mumbo jumbo anyway? All those religions are racist, misogynistic garbage. So some fake a** Mormon idiot wants to baptize people. And? I see the Mormons coming and those Jehovah Witness too, and I tell them straight up I am not to be proselytized to, peddle that c**p somewhere else. I don’t even know how this is news. Some sh*t different day.

    I was raized a baptist. I dont think that what was done to her body hurt anything, I dont think what the baptism Helped anything EITHER…..Got many more questions about religion than answers……..I say if your raised in one faith from the day you know anything that s what you believe. If I had been born Catholic I think I would believe what that church believes. It is just what you learn to be right early in life sticks with you, always. It is called faith for a reason. Live by the 10 commandment as much as you can. Love thy neighbor. God knows us all and what we have done. So he is the last to judge us. I dont think that some water put on a body dead or alive does anything at all. You do that to do as Jesus instructed us to do.

    President was born a Muslim circumcised and raised a Muslim. His mother may she rest in peace was a Muslimah and married to his father a Kenyan Muslim. She later remarried an Indonesian Muslim. As an adult for political reasons Obama left Islam and became Christian – fearful of the backlash he would face as a Muslim politician. Unfortunately he traded his hereafter of the percieved material life of the present. His lost! Now we learn his mother’s parents were Mormon and his grandparents were Mormon. No wonder he is so conflicted and spiritually and psychologically loss. He is what he is a Caucasian Kenyan posturing as a Black American!

      Oh, shut up! Just STFU! All you birthers and republic*nts real problem with this man isn’t that you think he’s foreign, but that he is a black man. All of you think white men belong to the office of president are true Americans perfect, smart and upright and blacks are deficient. It just upends your whole privileged little world you built for yourself when we buck every stereotype. We came up from slavery, Jim Crow and the ghetto to the white house and you can’t take it. Well, you’re going to have to take it for another four years so get used to it. Before long there will be a woman and a Latino in the white house. Maybe both.

    America will accept a Caucasian Mormon President – A half Caucasian Kenyan formerly Muslim turned Christian President. It looks like America will accept not a Jew turned Christian [Keary]- or Hispanic or Negro Black American President. The way things are going you will see a homosexual male or he/she President married to a First Man or First He/She before you see a Jew or Negro Black American in the White House.

      @ibne adam:

      Go read the books: THE SIX BLACK PRESIDENTS [Black Blood/White Mask] by Dr. Auset BaKhufu or THE FIVE BLACK PRESIDENTS by J.A. Rogers.

      No such ‘race’ as a ‘joo’ they came from the Black Hebrew Izraelites, who really OWNS the land in Izreal today! They had it stolen from them by the pale fake khazars.

      Look up the name John Hanson and get back with me!

      READ AND LEARN!

    I heard that Obama has a deal with the pope to baptize dead Mormons to Christianity in the states where he doesn’t have a majority. There is a secret Christian unit within the CIA that are researching it now. And, if he is elected, there is a plan to annex Kenya as an American colony. Beware Mormons and Kenyans.

    Take for the sake of argument he is or was a Muslim, Romney is a Mormon neither faiths call Jesus Christ. President Obama was married in a Christian church and raised his daughters under the Christian belief. Who ya voting for? Now why? Just as I thought.

    If this did occur it was out of disrespect for she passed away in 1995. They conducted the Baptism in 2008????

    Not that this makes much of a difference to the confused American people, but this (Mormonism) is looking more and more like a well established cult.

    This is as much hogwash as all of the twitter fake deaths alerts. If I were the POTNUS I wouldn’t even honor this rumor with a response. Right about now the opponent is running out of time and tatics because he knows he will not win. Of all the religions that could have been named “The Mormon (cult) which by the way Mitt Romney is a full pledge practicing Latter Day Saint. was choosen. Somone asked how can a dead person be baptized? well youtube mormons and learn of this false religion that claims that God has s*x with Mary and concieved Jesus. Read about it, and you will know the truth for your self in the mean time. Register to vote if you haven’t already done so, and mark your calendars. Election day is not far off. We must come together on this election and show forth the power of numbers and the power of our vote collectively!!!

Anyone who would speak of someones mother who has passed away is just a heartless scum of the earth. But just remember your day is coming and you will no longer be able to hide. This world is full of folks like you know who you are. I cant wait until the day comes when you are exposed. (Cowards)!!!!!!!!

    All I have to say is before this election in November, they will have the President a Zombie. Where does this trash come from? Regardless, as a child, you are raised in the faith that your parents want you to be, when you become an adult, you choose the faith that you want to be a part of and I sincerely believe when judgement day comes, your religion or faith or whatever is not going to have anything to do with Haven or h**l, you are going to be chosen based on what has been in your heart during your time here on Earth. Why would you bother to publish this trash, this women has passed on.

    This is rubbish and another example of the idiocy and craziness of religious factions throughout this world. The Mormons claim to have done the same thing with the millions of Holocaust victims which has the Jewish religious leaders upset according to NPR Radio as of last week. This is the same thing that happened with the Presidents mother which they had no right to do. I have seen several rituals of baptism and they all included the living soul (person) in front of the priest or minister were the person was sprinkled with so called holy water or in some cases dunked in a river, pond or pool inside the church for such purpose. I have no idea how they conduct their baptism of someone or millions of already dead people, but my best guess is it is some ritualistic ceremony of little significance other to make them appear to be doing something special for the deceased. Also, what gave them the right to assume the president’s mother or the other millions of people had never been baptized.

    Dr. Boyce…..A word directed to you is warranted. Instead of feeding into or creating misunderstood anxiety towards President Obama, my opinion is you should be doing more to advocate equal education for our people. Read some of the comments on any of the blogs you post and as an educated man yourself you should get sick to the stomach when it comes to how uneducated so many of our people are. Even your writers and contributors could use some help, so get with it buster, but then again your doctorate is in business and not social sciences or English.

    Honestly, this is kind of a provocative story due to the fact that it omits a key piece of information, that piece of information being that we all have dead relatives they’ve done this to. No, no…don’t shake your head…it’s true. Granted it’s a crazy weird Mormon thing, but they do this all the time. As a matter of fact, it’s so common that geneologists make a standard practice of using their data base to compile family trees.

    maybe this will stop all of the confusion. baptism will not save anyone. baptism is to show that you are cleaned on the inside.(by accepting jesus christ as your savior) but it shows cleaniness on the outside. that man may see. BUT BELEIVE /ACCEPT THE LORD JESUS AS YOUR PERSIONAL SAVIOR, AND YOU WILL BE SAVED.
    THIS ALSO BRINGS LOVE AMONG ALL PEOPLE. HOW CAN WE LOVE GOD WHOM WE HAVE NOT SEEN AND HATE YOU BROTHER WHO WE SEE DAILY.

    Mormans like roman catholics are a satanic cult like witchcraft. They are the same as well check out SIDROTH.Org and click on television archives and then click on John Benefial who was aired around December 17 let him explain it to you and then you can also hear the Baal spirits in and around our so called great nation – named AMERICA….NO JOKE! Its better to hear it for yourselves then for me to type about it. PPL need to get back to the basics of the Holy Bible and jus B NORMAL!
