Walt, what she is talking about is at one time SOME LDS people got ever zelous and started to baptize people other than their own families. Some started to just baptize Jewish people for one, and there was a huge backlash about that. The LDS Church has since stopped that practice but there is still that fear in some churches that their people will be baptized in another religion.
