President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: stop saying "Mormon" or "LDS Church"

I can never seem to get over the fact that I live on a planet where people still believe in such things.

Wait until you hear about the other planets

Using common nicknames such as “Mormon church,” “LDS Church” or the “Church of the Latter-day Saints,” Nelson said, “ … is a major victory for Satan.”

Oh yes. Of alllll the horrible things going on the world, that’s the thing Satan counts as a “major victory”. And Russell’s knickers in wad over it is just icing on His infernal cupcake. Devilishly delicious.

Is this really all about The Book of Mormon? Was that the turning point? I feel like it is.

I hope so; I’ve forgotten loads of them and wish I’d kept a diary.

My Mormon friends like to be called “Mormons”, when they ask to be called “Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints,” I’ll do that because everyone gets to be called what they want to be called.

Fun fact, the full ceremonial name of the city of Bangkok is:

Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit

“City of angels, great city of immortals, magnificent city of the nine gems, seat of the king, city of royal palaces, home of gods incarnate, erected by Vishvakarman at Indra’s behest.”

That’s pretty badass. It’s really a shame that ostentatious ceremonial place names aren’t really in favour in the anglosphere…

Rubbish, I come from Sandwich, if that’s not a ceremonial name I don’t know what is!

I agree. Although I do love when the President signs a document, it is often styled as

“On the Eight of October, in the Year of Our Lord Two-Thousand Eighteen, and in the Year of Our Independence the Two Hundred Forty-Second.”

Remember when they had tv commercials that ended “Brought to you by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: The Mormons”. I guess The Lord changed his mind.

I supposed “Honey, there’s a pair of Elders of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints here to speak to us” does have more gravitas, but there are only so many words I’ll let them put in my mouth. They are still Mormon Missionaries to me.

I came to really like Julia Sweeny after she shared her story of religious exploration, which includes her experience with a pair of Mormon Missionaries who came to her door.
