I might have rendered a plainer translation to this, but it is sufficiently plain to suit my purpose as it stands. It is sufficient to know, in this case, that the earth will be smitten with a curse unless there is a welding link of some kind or other between the fathers and the children, upon some subject or other—and behold what is that subject? It is the baptism for the dead. For we without them cannot be made perfect; neither can they without us be made perfect. Neither can they nor we be made perfect without those who have died in the gospel also; for it is necessary in the ushering in of the dispensation of the fulness of times, which dispensation is now beginning to usher in, that a whole and complete and perfect union, and welding together of dispensations, and keys, and powers, and glories should take place, and be revealed from the days of Adam even to the present time. And not only this, but those things which never have been revealed from the foundation of the world, but have been kept hid from the wise and prudent, shall be revealed unto babes and sucklings in this, the dispensation of the fulness of times.
Questions
Is this like FamilySearch's Relatives Around Me?
It's the same idea, in any browser instead of an app, and with a tree from anywhere (your TempleKit tree, or a GEDCOM file from FamilySearch, Ancestry or another program). TempleKit never signs in to FamilySearch.
Can anyone look me up?
Only if you turn on "Let other TempleKit users find me by name", and even then they see just your display name and town until you accept their request. Otherwise only people you give your code to, or relatives near you while you both have Nearby on, can connect.
What's shared?
Your display name, an optional town, and the ancestors in your tree who have died (FamilySearch ID, or name, birth year and country, and how many generations back). Never living people, never your whole tree, never your exact location.
How accurate is it?
A match on a FamilySearch ID is exact. A match on name, birth year and country is marked "possible", because two people can share a name. The relationship is only as good as both trees.
How do I turn it off?
Settings → Turn off and delete my profile. Your profile, your connections and any ancestors you were watching are deleted.
