It?????s the Church of Jesus Christ Gawd Damit

[_Shulem]

This new directive coming from Nelson is a sure sign that the leaders are growing more embarrassed about how their church appears not only to the world but to the members and themselves. This is a sign that they sense their ship is sinking. It's a futile and desperate attempt. The church is in trouble and they know it.

I agree. This ironic title from the Idaho Statesman says it all:

"Don’t call us ‘LDS,’ church asks - call us ‘The Church’"

Hmmm. I think I recall recent arguments that FLDS should not be calling themselves Mormons because only the Salt Lake COB church can use the name.

Also, doesn't someone else already hold the trademarks for "Church of Jesus Christ," and "Restored Church of Jesus Christ"?

From the last time...

While the term "Mormon Church" has long been publicly applied to the Church as a nickname, it is not an authorized title, and the Church discourages its use. Thus, please avoid using the abbreviation "LDS" or the nickname "Mormon" as substitutes for the name of the Church, as in "Mormon Church," "LDS Church," or "Church of the Latter-day Saints."

Jesus, if he exists, is a self centered prick, if all he is concerned about is that his name be celebrated more. I mean seriously, is the spot light not bright enough already? Why exactly is the Mormon god, oops I mean the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints god, or any god for that matter so self absorbed about being worshiped, praised and being fawned over? Oooooo look at me I'm Jesus freaking Christ, you better mention me every freaking time you mention my church or else I'm going to make your life hell throughout eternity. Give me a break.

YES. Google "Church of Jesus Christ" Its a another Mormon break off branch.

[_I have a question]

The LDS Church used to be quite attached to the term ‘Mormon’...

This is the gist of the debate going on in Texas, where the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) is currently waging a legal battle with a dating site called Mormon Match over its use of the word "Mormon".

Intellectual Reserve Inc., the holding company for the LDS church, has a trademark on the word, as well as "Book of Mormon", "Mormon.org", "Mormon Tabernacle Choir", "The Mormon Church", "Mormon handicraft" and an outline of the Mormon temple in Salt Lake City, Utah.

I'm guessing Jesus was getting a little jealous that his prophet Mormon was getting all of the worldly attention and so he "Impressed" the mind of his newly elevated prophet Nelson with the revelation to remind the members who really was at the head of the church. Its ME Jesus Christ gawd damit not that Mormon guy you idiots. I want all of the attention focused on ME ME ME!!

Just noticed a new piece on CNN about this.

They'll cover this but they haven't covered Protect LDS Children?

Nice.

One would think that Jesus would have let his one true prophet know back when the Internet first appeared that He was going to change the name of His The Church again. But since Jesus didn't let ole Gordo know what He was gonna tell Russ 20 years later, the Strangites and Bickertonites got the domains for thechurchofjesuschristoflatter-daysaints.org and thechurchofjesuschrist.org, respectively.

I guess Shades needs to change the name of the board to Restoredgospelofjesuschristian Discussions
