It’s the Church of Jesus Christ Gawd Damit

Post by _Craig Paxton »

Pres Nelson has been, cough, cough impressed to sharpen the focus on how the Mormon church is referred to and gawd damit it’s not the Mormon church nor the LDS church but the freaking church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and all you heathens better conform or face the wrath of freaking god almighty.

Not to worry, as Alan Watts teaches, God is doing a song and dance and enjoying every minute of it. What a game this thing we call life is!

When I first read the news about this little refocusing of how the church should be referred my first reaction was to suppress my gag reflex. I literally wanted to throw up

The comments in the ksl.com article are priceless...

It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

Up next - the new "I'm not a Mormon" media blitz.


Spend millions and millions of dollars on the "I'm a Mormon" media campaign. These guys are lucky they don't have actual stock holders.

Jesus just can't make up his mind so keeps wasting tithe dollars.

Didn't the church get their panties in a wad a few years ago about this very same thing. If I recall correctly they sent out a notice to the press on how they wanted the church to be referenced. Of course it was ignored.

Yes they did. And if Nelson think this attempt will end any differently he’s no Seer of the future. Does he seriously think any press out side of Utah will alienate all other Christian churches by referring to the Mormons as the church of Jesus Christ? I think he’s losing it and has completely gone mad

Emmanuel the Prince of Pedants missed a golden opportunity to name the church The Only True and Living Church Upon the Face of the Whole Earth, With Which I, the Lord, Am Well Pleased. Speaking Unto the Church Collectively and Not Individually™.

What about their "I'm a Mormon" media campaign that they dumped a lot of time and money into. Is that just another sunk cost that we are suppose to forget about?

No, because it set the tone for the most correct title, "I'm a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." :lol:
