Indexing....

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

I don't even know what indexing is, but not because of coolness.

You are kinda cool, I bet you are right on the cuff of not knowing what indexing is because of coolness.

Our stake had an indexing goal of 1,000,000 names last year. We hit 1.3 million. We have a leaderboard on the stake website and it is like a game similar to what Uncle Ted suggested.

My neighbor works for the prison as a contractor, he runs a crew of inmates and they do construction jobs around the state. Right now they are working on some data center up in Clearfield. He said he can always outbid people as the inmates are only paid $1.25 an hour.

I think you're way cool, and you'd be a great indexer should you ever choose to step into fray with the worker bee saints. I think you're on the cusp of taking cool to another level.

If the church ever released an essay clarifying some of the more seedy details of indexing, guaranteed that I'll be on of those with their mouths open in shock. Because I have no idea what the hell indexing is. Does section 132 talk about that as well?

Edit: I wonder when the church will get robots to do the temple work as well.

Some would say they already do.

[Northwestcoug]

Of course, in about ten years robots will most likely be able do this better than us humans. Our ancestors have been waiting a lot time but another ten years most likely won't hurt them.

That video is all over the place. Too much 'cute' animation. Thumbs down for me.

I'm not sure DDD has any interest in being a worker bee.
From wikipedia: A worker bee is any female (eusocial) bee that lacks the full reproductive capacity of the colony's queen bee...

Now a drone on the other hand...
Drones are male honey bees which are the product of an unfertilized egg. Unlike the female worker bee, drones do not have stingers and do not participate in nectar and pollen gathering. A drones' primary role is to mate with a fertile queen.

Drone me up, baby! especially if the queen bee is wearing leggings or yoga pants!

Holy crap... I found out recently that our stake did a grand total of 90,000 names last year. We suck. Personally I am waiting for the robots.

Yes, drones... the robots will do this indexing so I can work on the important stuff like fishing. But keep those robots away from my wife!

Only he who does something is worthy to live. The world has no use for the drone.

I'm going to be busy making someone feel glad

Have the anti-mo crowd put together a chart of futility yet? One that would show the impossible task laid before members of the church trying to baptize every soul that ever lived even as the population continues to expand at such a high rate? I would like to see some hard or even speculative data on the subject.

Exactly. That is why we need an army of robots doing the temple work. Can you imagine how much faster this could be done if the church would just turn this problem over to us engineers?

I did that once in a boring SS class a while back.

A large busy temple (like Provo) will have sessions every 20 minutes. Looking at the Provo schedule it looks like there are ~212 session per week. Lets say there are 30 temples who can operate with that type of schedule.

A small temple (like Columbia, SC) will have 16 or so sessions per week. Lets round that up to 20 sessions per week. That leaves 114 temples with 20 sessions per week.

Adding up the number of sessions brings us to 8640 sessions per week. I'll round it up to 9K.

Let's assume that each session has 50 people in them. That means in a week there are 450K ordinances performed.

There are ~1.1M deaths per week. So each week we're falling behind by ~650K people.
