Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the News
Well boys, it looks like it’s time for a title change.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issues new name guidelines, dropping term Mormon in most useshttps://www.deseretnews.com/article/900028401/the-church-of-jesus-christ-of-latter-day-saints-issues-new-name-guidelines-dropping-term-mormon-in-most-uses.html?user=app

Which version of the name change directive are we on? 3? Haven't they tried this before? The term 'Mormon' will never go away.
I can only guess how a convo between a Mormon (oops!) and a neighbor will go:
"I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints".
"Which church is that?"
"The Church of Jesus Christ".
"Oh you go to the Church of Christ down the road?"
"No, the restored Church of Jesus Christ".
"Hmm. I haven't seen that one in town. Is it new?"
"No...
The Mormon church, alright? I'm a Mormon, I mean, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints".

I will follow the style guide when they listen to LGBTQ people and stop using terms like same sex attraction.

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

I've already started. I tell people I'm in the choir. When they ask which one, I say the one downtown. Never have to say M*****.

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

· The term "Mormonism" is inaccurate and should not be used. When describing the combination of doctrine, culture and lifestyle unique to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the term "the restored gospel of Jesus Christ" is accurate and preferred.
Yes, please do our missionary work for us!

We haven't even skimmed the surface yet. What about mormonscholarstestify? And the whole ex-Mormon internet crowd? Did President Nelson consider them before making this announcement?
