I'll just start off with I don't know anything about the cave thing, that's not really what I'm arguing.
But as far as the records go, isn't that kind of the jist of the article? That they are slowly making their own history that is different from the history we know. If they have the PREMIER genalogical library as you put it, and are baptizing people into the faith (for whatever reason they say, it doesn't matter, this is how it is feared it ends up in the records) there is a possibility their records will become the official story in 100-1000 years. And if not kept a close eye on by independent watchdogs, these people could be recorded as 'Mormon' and not Jewish. And then the history books will say: Millions of Mormons died in the holocaust...
'But since 2005, ongoing monitoring of the database by an independent Salt Lake City-based researcher shows both resubmissions and new entries of names of Dutch, Greek, Polish and Italian Jews.
The researcher, Helen Radkey, who has done contract work for the Holocaust group, said her research suggests that lists of Holocaust victims obtained from camp and government records are being dumped into the database. She said she has seen and recorded a sampling of several thousand entries that indicate baptisms had been conducted for Holocaust victims as recently as July.'
It feels like it's an effort to make a Mormon stamp on history or the world. Whether those fears are founded or not remains to be seen. But as I argued originally. Why bother making any entries or revisions at all? Why not leave the past in the past, and the dead the way they died?
