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

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"

7 mins after conference ended, RMN posted on fb. This while half or more of the church is supposed to be on a social media fast.

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. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

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.

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.
