A Mormon shows up to ask granny for her grandson's address. Why? "We just need it for our records.
Someone claiming to be a Mormon phones a parent to say they've lost their daughter's address. "Why do you need it? To harass or bother her when she's busy?"
"Oh no. We need it for our records."
An inactive moves and doesn't tell any Mormon where they're going. A search ensues and they tell the landlady with the deposit check.
"We need the whereabouts. It's just for our records."
Here's the reality. The Mormon church "needs" no information on anyone unless they willingly hand it over to show they want to be kept in the Mormon loop.
There is no legitimate reason for the morg to have contact information on 1000s of former members who have quit and want to be left alone.
Why does the church "want" this information? Here are possible reasons:
1. They want to hound them and catch them in crisis in hopes of luring them back.
2. They like the power and control of knowing where former members are and knowing they can step in and intimidate them if they choose.
3. They think everyone who has been blessed, baptized or participated is under their jurisdiction. Any or all of them might return and swell the church's numbers and power.
4. A few toadies think these "lost souls" actually need "help" of some kind from the church they're trying to avoid.
5. Two or three lowly members might think these "sheep" want the attention because they have nothing much going for themselves except that they used to be Mormons.
In truth Mormons might need white bread, water, ward houses, temples, and ugly underwear to practice their faith. They don't need my records.
