Sometimes I feel that church members would feel the responsibility for gathering their ancestors if the Church quit providing extracted names for ordinance requests. If members were turned away from the temple when there were no ordinances to perform, would they feel more responsibility to at least try to research or at least get names from other researchers in the ward? It's kind of like helping a person quit smoking (sorry for the analogy) but giving them a cigarette a day until they feel they can quit. Hopefully the new direction will help, and I agree that the Church needed to try something different. Kudos to them for making all this available to us!Sandra Hildreth Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284841585033500677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793782800729950147.post-53311991617200625342013-11-07T06:42:43.959-08:002013-11-07T06:42:43.959-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sandra Hildreth Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284841585033500677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793782800729950147.post-116720088872588052013-11-06T08:35:48.508-08:002013-11-06T08:35:48.508-08:00This, unfortunately, is the same issue that the Br...This, unfortunately, is the same issue that the Brethren and FamilySearch struggle with. If there was an easy answer, we would have access to it. It will be interesting to see how much impact will be made by the push to involve youth and put emphasis initially on the stories. Stay tuned and keep trying! <br /><br />Dave MidgleyDave and Manja Midgleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01691054641277255045noreply@blogger.com
