They can’t possibly be that stupid. I’m sure they have more sinister plans for these geneology databases. My first guess would be blackmail. But I’m guessing they have a ton of other evil ideas.
LDS has a ton of money. They already have some kind of deal with ancestry.com and own familysearch.com.
Yeah even before those websites existed, they were collecting all kinds of files on people. Like late 80s, early 90s. Warehouses full of paper records.
It's more a matter of crazy than stupid, I think.
