Much like the Marketing Department at my tiny college that somehow still needs four employees and a vice president, even putative not-for-profits must control the brand."Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well. The PhD symbolizes intelligence and discipline. The MBA symbolizes lust for power." -- Katy Lied -
My wife and I had a solid discussion yesterday regarding this issue. I'd like to hear the POV of the complete 12 regarding this issue, and not a single voice. Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses kind of thing.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.

On top of that, they are 1-2-3 in hierarchy.Originally posted by Donuthole View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

They sound pretty unified, Clack:
And a reference to it being revelation to boot!Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, who was traveling with President Nelson, noted the importance of taking the long view on this name adjustment. “There is such unity in the First Presidency and the Twelve on this subject. The president has spoken; the Lord has spoken to the president. And this is going to be an extended, multi‑year effort, but this will not be something that will be attempted and then pulled back on.”"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd.

Must be a bloodmoon - Northwestcoug is calling me to repentance regarding my bad attitude regarding the Mormon Jettison Movement (#morjetmov). He's probably doing it between sips of the evil brew that makes men eschew sanity and beg for something more.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post

Today in priesthood the WML said he had a discussion with the sisters in our ward about the name change and how they've been instructed to handle it. They said they say they're Christian. Then inevitably they're asked what church they belong to and then they reply The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I liked that."Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

We are not Mormons.
I couldn’t dislike that more. Now we are striving to be lumped in with all the crazies on the Religious right.

Then when investigators figure out that the missionaries are Mormon/LDS then it is clear that they are lying/deceiving and covering something up right from the start. No problem there.Originally posted by Surfah View PostComment
