  • I do not know that this in fact occurred, but I would say this about it. It is not our place to judge who will go to heaven and who won't. That is up to God. We will eventually do the work for everyone who died without the ordinances. Beyond that, their salvation is between them and God. Don't read into the claim that Hitler and Braun's work had been done any hint that we condone the barbarity of the Nazi regime. We don't. However, we don't have the ability to look into a persons heart and assess their true motives. Only God can do that. Had Hitler been taken alive, he probably would have been among the first group of defendants at the Nuremberg trials, would have been convicted of and then hanged for his crimes. Rightly so, in my opinion. Do I think that Hitler will benefit from having the ordinances done on his behalf? I am very doubtful of that, but, once again, it is not my place to pass that judgement.
  • Yes, with date discrepancies. "On August 30, 1998, Don McAreavy, of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, wrote to the LDS Family History Library asking if LDS proxy temple work had been performed for Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun. McAreavy specifically wanted to know if temple ordinances had been performed for Hitler and Braun on September 28, 1993, in the Jordan River Temple, Utah. Current IGI TM Addendum temple ordinance entries for Mr. [Adolf] Hiedler (Hitler) show that Hitler was "baptized" by Mormons on September 30, 1993, and "endowed" on April 27, 1994, in the Jordan River Temple, Utah. Eva Anna Paula Braun, born in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, on February 7, 1912, was "baptized" by Mormons on October 16, 1964, and "endowed" on February 5, 1965, in the Los Angeles Temple. She had been "sealed" to her parents some time prior to 1970. This information is current and is easily accessible There are, currently, Ancestral File ordinance records which show Adolf Hitler was "baptized" on September 4, 1993, "endowed" on October 12, 1993, and "sealed" to his parents and also Eva Braun on June 14, 1994 - in the Los Angeles Temple. Prior to adding the 1997 edition to the IGI, it seems that the Mormon Church, intent on preserving its public image, attempted to remove the names of well-known Nazis from the IGI files. Most of the IGI entries for Adolf Hitler; Mrs. (Adolf Hitler); Adolf Eichmann; Paul Joseph Göbbels; Hermann Göring; Rudolf Hess; and Heinrich Himmler, were quietly removed. Also erased were the records for Benito Mussolini, the dictator of Fascist Italy from 1922 to 1943 and ally of Hitler and the Third Reich. But the deletion effort was botched. Some entries were missed, such as the ones still current for Hitler and Braun, in the IGI and Ancestral File. The IGI ordinance records for Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess, which correctly showed his place of birth as Alexandria, Egypt, were deleted - yet other IGI ordinance entries still exist for Hess, wrongly listing his place of birth as Germany. Also missed were LDS ordinance records, which still exist in the Ancestral File, for Paul Joseph Göbbels and Hermann Göring. These entries, which include baptisms for each of them, may have been intentionally removed from the IGI files. The LDS ordinance records, of other well-known Nazis, were apparently overlooked by Mormons during their IGI purge. These records are currently accessible [1999] . Included in this liberal list are: Reinhard Heydrich, "The Father of The Final Solution" - Hitler's plan to exterminate all Jews in Europe. Alfred Rosenberg, hanged at Nuremberg for war crimes; Ernst Röhm, once the thuggish leader of Hitler's Storm Troopers; and Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, * the famous Desert Fox of World War II". -------------------------- The whole story is in the following links or you can contact Don McAreavy directly to ask him yourself. http://www.christianity.ca/faith/sharing-faith/2004/08.002.html http://nowscape.com/mormon/hitler_temple_records.htm
  • Jospeh Smith murdered two men. When they came to lynch him and his brother, both of whom possesed pistols which had been smuggled into them earlier. While they blocked the door and held back an enraged mob his brother was shot in the face (left side of the nose), fearing for his own life Joseph Smith fired 6 shots hitting 3 people, two of whom are reported to have died as a consequence of the wounds they recieved. In an attempt to escape from his demise he attempted escape out of the window but was shot at and wounded mortally from outside. He fell out of the window and died shortly after. It is of note that the last words of Joseph Smith were a masonic plea "Oh Lord, My god (is there no one to help the widows son)". Text in () is the full text which he died before finishing. This information is freely available from LDS records, although most mormons if they are aware of this do not generally like to bring it up.
  • Yes, it is now public record that this is the case. The LDS has expressed regret that his si the case.
  • And why shouldn't they have been? Don't you believe that Christ has power to save the most vile of sinners? Do you think there is anyone beyond His power? Now whether or not Hitler repents and accepts the ordinance I can't tell you, but it is the nature of Christ to offer His salvation to all: --- "Behold, hath he commanded any that they should depart out of the synagogues, or out of the houses of worship? Behold, I say unto you, Nay. Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his asalvation? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but he hath given it free for all men; and he hath commanded his people that they should persuade all men to repentance. Behold, hath the Lord commanded any that they should not partake of his goodness? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but all men are privileged the one like unto the other, and none are forbidden." 2 Nephi 26:26-28
  • It doesn't matter it they were or not. Everyone who has had their Temple work done must still appear before the Lord to be judged. If they cannot show they are worthy of their Covenants, their Temple work will not be accepted by the Lord and they will be judged according to their works...Later
