Ep334: Secrets of the Temple Name Oracle, And More!

Have you always wondered who is behind the Temple Name Oracle? After experiencing cognitive dissonance from his mission in 2003 and discovering the truth about LDS church history in 2010 from a simple Google search, Clint Kimball experienced the sudden loss of his entire social support structure and began reconstructing his belief system by collecting a trove of facts. This led to the creation of his website, Fuller Consideration, a repository of information used by researchers around the world. Join Mormonish as we take a fascinating deep dive into the creation and impact of some of his notable projects, including: Better Information: A collection of original source documents on church history. No commentary. No analysis. The Temple Name Oracle: The popular database that unlocked the rotation system behind how New Names are given out in temples. The Patriarchal Blessing Revelator: An archive that helps us understand whether patriarchal blessings tell us more about the recipient or the patriarch. Unit Tracker: A live list of where wards, branches, stakes, and districts are being opened and closed around the world. The Deseret Demographer: A large data-driven analysis that shows how many of the church's reported membership actually consider themselves members, and how many are showing up to church.
