We did baptisms that were the temple file BUT NOW cannot be shared with the temple file again. WHY?
BUT now they are NOT able to share other ordinances back in to the "temple file".
BECAUSE: Ordinances that were previously shared with the temple cannot be shared again.
WHY?????
I can SLOWLY do 5 Initiatory (once every 3 months in Bountiful) My only option to HOPE for their other ordinances to be completed to to UNRESERVE the names. Doesn't this SLOW the progress of ancestors by not being able to share Endowment & Sealings. I lose track of them AND My "unknown cousins" won't be able to see these ancestors in our common tree. How does this help my ancestors get the rest of their ordinances completed????

This is a common misconception that totally makes sense.
If you reserve a name from the temple file, you can't share it again because it's already shared.
When you reserved the name from the temple file, you essentially placed a hold on any of the ordinances getting reserved by someone else or done by the temple system so you could do them yourself (which is certainly the quickest way for it to happen).
If you click "unreserve", you end the hold, so to speak, that you have on the names. The names have already been shared with the temple by the person who shared them in the first place.
So, to unreserve those just means that the ordinances you didn't do end up right where they started - in the same spot in the "shared with temple" line that they had before you reserved them.
In short, you can't share these with the temple because it would be superfluous - the person that shared them first already shared the names with the temple and that share is still valid - your reserving it just put a hold on it.
Hopefully that makes sense :)
