Is it true that they just keep renewing the same names because they can't keep up with temple attendance demands?

We have no way to know beyond hearsay.

Maybe they recycle them because revelation indicates all the work so far has been done by mastubators. And that is unacceptable.

What impertinence!!! I've been through the temple and on all three occasions, I did NOT masturbate!!!

Yes. While doing sealings for male children to their parents I knlet and was sealed for and behalf of Joseph Fielding Smith to his father Hyrum Smith and to his mother Mary Fielding.....no shit.

Uh... Just to make sure?

I believe this came to light when families began comparing genealogy records.

Aunt X's records would show a baptism date and sealings in the 60s when Cousin Y would show a date in the 90s.

Since Aunt X did the temple work herself she know the time frame.

Then suddenly someone brags at the family reunion they did the work for the same name just last week.

Yup. They recycle names.

42.7 percent of the names are made up.

In order that I may believe this hypothesis please support it with unchallengable evidence

Please excuse an aside: I believe that 'unchallengeable evidence' exists that the mormon church is man-made and ghawd-deficient, but even when the internet (which is where Dave got his authoritative 42.7% figure) proves it, people still hang on to their binkies.

ACTUALLY what I was asking was where did you get the figure. I tend to believe it!

Oops! I assumed, since a citation is lacking, that he was just being a clever-boots.

But how would we check? "Original Source" for genealogy is the hard evidence of words on paper, parchment, cloth, stone and even oral tradition.

If I come down from a mountain range in Northern Mexico with photographs of 'evidence' identifying generations of a particular tribe of Mexican Indians, do you think that the mormon church is going to quibble with me about my records or start dead-dunking them?

So, EOD - how's your Nahuatl?? Did you ever hear about anyone submitting a Nahuatl name? (I think they are so exotic-sounding!) We have a local woman running for office here whose name is Xochitl.

42.7 percent of all statistics are made up.

There was a website where various temples had done the temple work for Hitler about a dozen times.

So yes, I believe work is done, then resubmitted over and over.

Got to keep those temple rats busy on that hamster wheel.

The names are (can be) made up.
Of course they are recycled.
It's easier for the paperwork.
Just like the empty demands.

The temple demands your fool attention for careless and hopeless nattendance.

The temple is a place to shirk your work and play your fool while running in place, even backward.

You could attend a walk in the park and get more out of it.

"...they can't keep up with temple attendance demands?"

Gives me image of TBM's camping on the sidewalk or banging on the temple door like they're waiting for the new iPhone or the Target 5 a.m. Day After Thanksgiving sale:
"Let us in--we gotta baptize some dead people NOW!!"

lol C&B you said it

Like this OP?
https://www.smh.com.au/national/menzies-ned-and-the-don-mormons-baptise-prominent-australians-after-death-20180922-p505ds.html The sickening, despicable, sacreligious practice of DD? It's HORRIBLE! Need anything else?

LDSinc also baptises ALIVE people, against their wishes, knowledge, and sometimes even behind their backs.

Some of these people would be mad and probably set fire to the temples, as Jesus would.
