It is obvious that Mormons are unknowingly (it is hoped ) involved in a cult They distort who GOD is, and they limit the atoning power of Jesus Christ...

Over on the MD&D board, The Nehor and Calm have said this not using the words Mormon and LDS has been elevated to a commandment, rather than a hobbyhorse of President Nelson.

The Nehor further suggests that God wants to use neurolinguistic programming to further the understanding of these former Mormons.

Update

The Church now prefers to be called Even the Church of Jesus Christ (ECJC - pronounced "Ekk JAK").

Members are to be called, Even Followers of Jesus Christ (EFJC - pronounced "EFF JAK").

Isn't it supposed to mean "more good" and that is why Nelson doesn't like it? He knows that is not what L-d$,inc is all about?

I love that Nelson has satisfied his ego by pushing a policy he called for in the Hinkley era. This has been hurting the church's image, businesses and the Mormon Tabernacle choir. This will speed up the demise of the church.

I attended a lecture by W. Paul Reeve, director of Mormon Studies at the U of U, shortly after the big announcement of the-word-that-shall-not-be-spoken. I felt so much sympathy for him trying to talk about Mormon Studies without using the evil word.

Anyways. I believe the appropriate scripture is looking upon the staff and the snake, and the multitude who perished, not because it was hard but rather becuase it was too easy.
