Imagine trying to change the name of the Church.Originally posted by falafel View Post
The Mormon Church is the Mormon Church. It may not be their legal name, but they have used and embraced this term for many decades. This fact is undeniable. You can't easily run from a name that you've embraced and even used in commercials and ad campaigns:
"I'm a Mormon"
"The Mormons"

I think this marks the 10th conference in a row where BM has watched more of it than I have.
FYI, the Panthers/Giants game was awesome, except a little warm.Comment

It's pretty obvious that is what is happening. And until this morning, I wasn't even aware of RMN's attempt in the 90s to jettison the term "Mormon," nor was I aware of GBH's talk six months later leaning into the term. But those talks support my theory. This has been a pet issue of RMN's for some time.

Nelson takes me back to the days of the MTC and the crowd that insisted we call each other by our "distinguished titles" instead of by last names because we weren't a football team. If I close my eyes for long enough, I can hear the admonitions to carry ourselves with quiet dignity even now!Originally posted by Donuthole View PostComment

I think Nelson's talk about the name of the Church was misguided. It's hard to come off well when you're lecturing people about what words they should use, ignoring all kinds of relevant facts, and rehearsing how to "handle" conversations.
I think the talk was a non-starter for a significant number of believing church members, and was downright creepy for many people who aren't members.
Having said that, it's pretty easy to ignore and is certainly out of my control.
When some over-zealous idiot tries to correct me, I'll say something like, "Shut up," followed by "Later I'll tell you what I really think."Last edited by Sleeping in EQ; 10-08-2018, 09:31 AM.We all trust our own unorthodoxies.Comment
