"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Originally posted by creekster View PostUnlike most of what you post, this is ignorant. The sobriquet issue was on Nelson's mind since the 90s, as you can see from his address in April 1990. This change has nothing to do with a failure of recent lobbying efforts and everything to do with RMN's position. What evidence, apart from possible musings of ex or non-mormons, is there that this change results from a perceived taint on the name Mormon resulting from politics? The church isnt complaining that "Mormon" isn't christ-like enough, they are saying we should become more Christ-like by calling ourselves after him, as his disciples, which he told us we should do in the BoM.

The issue I took with your comment was that the whole thing arose from lobbying efforts gone astray.
We can be in the ignorance club together.

Originally posted by Non Sequitur View PostThe Church wants to have it both ways. They want to meddle in politics and lobby for unpopular causes and then complain when the moniker Mormon becomes tainted and doesn't sound Christie enough. It's nonsense to suggest that God has suddenly decided that when people don't expend a dozen syllables to reference the Church, that Satan and his minions give themselves high-fives. Hopefully the Church will settle on a brand and get out of the lobbying game and back into the religion game.

I won't stand for it.

This was shared on facebook by a former member who almost certainly needs to take a social media fast, as she seemingly spends all day reading fb feeds for political/social activism and then sharing them. And, if memory serves, she has actually announced multiple times in the past that she would be unplugging for a period of time because it would benefit her personally and spiritually to get off social media for a while.

Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

...
When producer Elna Baker was a kid, adults told her to go into small rooms with adult men and talk about sex things. Regularly. It was so routine for her that she barely thought to talk about it. Until recently... when she started calling other women who did the same thing."Seriously, is there a bigger high on the whole face of the earth than eating a salad?"--SeattleUte
