The church keeps metrics on members, like how often members visit the temple

Post by drumdude »

It was revealed during the Daybell trial as evidence admitted- the exact days and times their temple recommend was scanned into the central church database.

Just like Jesus from 2000 years ago intended.

Per a former bishop:
This has been the case since they could scan. I was told that when I was in the bishopric. This is an easy way to account for any and all visits for ward, stake and youth. They can track for mission worthiness. It also helps to see if you have one family member not attending. This cross reference with tithing and attendance shows your ability to serve in calling and so forth. Tons of metrics you can pull from this. You can extrapolate the growth in an area or decline for buildings and regions. This is why I am sure you are seeing a decline and combining of wards and stakes. The metrics are showing the decline and you don’t want empty buildings that people are showing up to, want them full maybe with an overflow open to make it look full.

Temple attendance, Sunday attendance, priesthood advancement for males, missionary service, and, most importantly tithes and offerings...

The church, like any business, tracks and analyzes its customers tendencies and habits in order to improve its messaging and marketing.

By this tracking, the FBI picked up the pattern of a Temple visit before each of the Daybell-Vallow murders.

It's a good thing the church doesn't claim any powers of discernment to judge the worthiness of people to enter the house of the Lord.

The FBI had access to the central church database?

I imagine a subpoena was issued.

The FBI knew of the Temple attendance pattern, although some apologists might claim this information was leaked to them by either the Maxwell Institute or Dr. Scratch. Apologists could use either channeling or subpoenas as a fallback position.

Yep. The Church is more interested in its means of making money than anything else, much like all business ventures out there. They all say similar things about being a great service to mankind, and doing good for others, encouraging and building people up. That happens also to be nothing more than the Mormon Church.
