Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
[And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire
to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.] And Jesus, perceiving
the thought of their heart, took a child, [and set him in the midst of them: and when
he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them], [--JST: Whosoever shall humble
himself like one of these children, and receiveth me, ye shall receive in my name.
And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me only, but him that sent me, even
the Father.]: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.  [And John
answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he
followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. But Jesus
said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that
can lightly speak evil of me.  For he that is not against us is] for us.  [For whosoever
shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily
I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.]
The Spirit of Elijah refines, spiritualizes,
and does purify all of the hearts and minds of everyone sincerely engaged in actively
pursuing family genealogy and history research. --- [For he is like a refiner’s fire, and
like fuller’s soap; and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he shall purify
the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord
an offering in righteousness.
Vault Let us, therefore, as a church and a people, and as
Latter-day Saints, offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness; and let us present
in his holy temple, when it is finished, a book containing the records of our dead,
which shall be worthy of all acceptation.]
Eternal personal knowledge and family
associations with our progenitors becomes our Treasure in Heaven. This grants
the privilege of forever living upon this glorified, Celestial Earth in the presence
of God the Eternal Father and His Son Jesus Christ, who is the King of the Jews.
Purpose of Temple and Family History Work

  International Testing Project ISOWQ: International Studies of Website Quality.
  For the purpose of this project, an innovative system has been created that
  combines the universally recognized research methods from a variety of fields,
  including information technology, Internet marketing or text assessment tools
  used on web pages. Based on these standards and methods tested a website
  is subjected to a detailed analysis, the results of which are presented on pages
  ISOWQ and can be properly examined by specialists of various fields.
  The overall assessment of a website is based on our unique algorithm -
  ISOWQ Rank, designed especially for this project. Based on the gathered
  information ISOWQ can create complex reports, showing the popularity
  of certain information technology, internet marketing techniques,
  and many others. This valuable data allows you to create cross-lists
  for any chosen top-level domain or group of domains covering
  a geographic area, eg. continents, countries of the European Union
  or the Commonwealth of Independent States.

 "Independence requires personal responsibility.  This demands
submitting to both national and international standards for credentials
that can be applied at the local level, within the civil licensing community.
The scholarly standards must merit research acceptability, promoted by
the community of higher learning institutions.  A reduction in current
bureaucracy [Internet disorganization to a centralized unit], must be
promoted, to keep online genealogy free and independent; a part
of the socialization and learning process of society as a whole...."
