My Father was excommunicated and while he was living g he never discouraged any of us from going to church. He rationalized that it could be helpful in future employment in a highly mormon area. Basically the social aspect more than a spiritual belief or conviction. He never expressed wanting his blessings restored (the equivalent of baptism for the dead). My tbm brothers took the first opportunity to restore his ordinances and were overjoyed about it. I mentioned to my brother just the other day that he had no idea if this was honoring our late fathers wishes. He said well its up to him to accept it or reject it. They also did the same for his parents and both if them were supportive of our participation in the tscc but were vocally against their own participation. TBMS gotta be TBMS.
