Everyone realizes these homeless cams that require membership and are free late nights and weekends are probably used by traffickers right?
We have an obligation to shine a light on this problem and try to find out what happened to these people.
Mormons, Genetics, & Digitized Data
"For Mormons, baptisms can be performed on the living and the dead to join families for eternity after death. When performed on the dead, they are called “proxy” or “vicarious” baptisms. The LDS church teaches that the deceased person will then be able to accept or reject their Mormon baptism. While the church instructs its members to focus proxy baptisms on their relatives, its stated goal is that all deceased people will one day be baptized. To meet this goal, and to keep track of who has received proxy baptisms, the LDS church keeps records of genealogies across the globe. As a result, over the last century Mormons have become experts in digital data storage and an important research population for geneticists."

Joseph’s Temples
The Dynamic Relationship between Freemasonry and Mormonism
By Michael W Homer
The apparent parallels between Mormon ritual and doctrine and those of Freemasonry have long been recognized. That Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and other early church leaders were, at least for a time, Masons, is common knowledge. Yet while early historians of the LDS Church openly acknowledged this connection, the question of influence was later dismissed and almost became taboo among faithful church members. Just as Mormons have tried to downplay any ties to Freemasonry, Masons have sought to distance themselves from Mormonism. In Joseph’s Temples, Michael Homer reveals how deeply the currents of Freemasonry and Mormonism entwined in the early nineteenth century. He goes on to lay out the later declining course of relations between the two movements, until a détente in recent years.
There are indications that Freemasonry was a pervasive foundational element in Mormonism and that its rituals and origin legends influenced not just the secret ceremonies of the LDS temples but also such important matters as the organization of the Mormon priesthood, the foundation of the women’s Relief Society, the introduction and concealment of polygamy, and the church’s position on African Americans’ full membership. Freemasonry was also an important facet of Mormons’ relations with broader American society.

So the Mormons built a maximum security vault into the side of Little Cottonwood Canyon (designed to withstand a nuclear blast) where they keep their Church artifacts, and nobody thought this was worth mentioning to me… Anybody know more details about this place?
"I think it’s called the Granite Mountain Vault. It’s not just artifacts. We hold the most genealogical records in the world (scans, microfiche, etc). and I think they store them in there."
