I just tried to get into the LDS site using the URL below. I have previously register and I am not an LDS member. This is the screen I got:
Your account is not ready for new.familysearch.org. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You will be informed by your priesthood leaders when your area can use the system. Members should use their LDS Account. Volunteers who previously used new.familysearch.org. <https://new.familysearch.org/en/action/unsec/connectaccountsview> Click here to combine your previous and new accounts. General public. Look for a future announcement when you will have access to new.familysearch.org.

EVERYTHING is available to members and non members alike, except ordinance information, available to members of the church only. One new tool is the "Discussion" box for any person listed on this site where you can open up a dialogue with members and non members alike. https://www.familysearch.org/ is the excellent site for ALL records ever collected, digitized, filmed, etc. and indexed! I am a subscriber to Ancestry.com and I am seeing more and more of the records there available on familysearch.org. Census records now available are a treasure trove of data; along with many other records from other countries, digitized or indexed and available on familysearch.

If you go to new.FamiliySearch.org, you can sign up to get on the list for a non-member log-in. The only thing you'll not see once you get your log-in is the ordinance data for church members. The www.FamilySearch.org site is the one with all the really good stuff like scans and transcriptions!

The OLD Family Search has some good information, but the real stuff is in the NEW area.
