Thank you Carrie, No one has been rude and I did not mean to stir up
contention but rather share what I believed to be correct, in my eyes.
The point is, we want to encourage ward members to do their family history
and if the member takes the initiative to get their own membership record
number (which is now on current temple recommends). and remember their
confirmation date, there is no problem.
BUT until then, let us use the spirit of discernment and not the letter of
the law in helping others in this great work.
