As an LDS membership clerk for a ward (about 500 people) I’m constantly having members correct their records. Anyone can see their records (not someone else’s) at any time. All members are supposed to be given the “Individual Ordinance Summary” whenever changes are made to their records. Pretty much all of the information on a member’s “official” record is contained on that document (at least they look the same to me but with a different heading). It’s just personal information such as when a person was baptized or married. We have had problems with some members (like the type that takes screen shots of databases of other people’s info) taking a copy of membership records and using it to mail out things like Christmas cards or wedding invitations.
I’m starting to question the general sanity of Freepers as well as the accuracy of most everything on the site given that every time I’ve seen something I have personal knowledge of it’s totally off-base.

The post just quotes the LDS software itself. No more.

Then this is a precaution TO KEEP THE INFORMATION FROM THE WRONG PEOPLE, not a way to keep the information from the member themselves.

They mail a Christmas card to themselves?
Never mind. TheDon says he can get records for other people besides himself. I thought this only dealt with your own personal record. My bad.
