I believe the houses have already been assigned ... Believers can be the celestial house Apologists can be the terrestrial house NOMs can be the telestrial house And Critics get the trailer park
I'M OFFENDED!

H.
AWESOME! The house will be orange with rainbows and unicorns and glitter. Lots of glitter. And a slide. Probably a few secret passages, too.

I am just a guy from the 70's. Why not active Mormons for those who are active and inactive Mormons for those who are not active. Former Mormons for those who left the church. I think that this covers it.
All the titles these days only shows just how postmodernism as entered the terminology as people seek to express themselves through particular identities that actually make no sense except to give a particular title for people to describe themselves as a specific grouping of individuals.
For example: both former Mormons and exmormons or postmormons are still former members. But former member Mormons is too general a concept for our postmodern age.
NOM is just a term for inactive Mormons. It is a very high brow term but still the members who say that they are NOM are inactive.
TBMs are active members period.
foyer Mormons can be both active or inactive. They tend to be in the foyer for various of reasons, but mainly it is too catch up with a friend or take care of a child.
So, the old terms inactive, active and former tend to cover most people without the high brow unnecessary titles.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world. Joseph Smith We are “to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to provide for the widow, to dry up the tear of the orphan, to comfort the afflicted, whether in this church, or in any other, or in no church at all…” Joseph Smith

You don't seem to understand the terms. NOMs are usually active Mormons with heterodox views.
You're heterodox too, but inactive. I don't believe at all, but I attend every week.
What now?

I am just inactive. Such was the term in the 70's and such is the term now. NOM people are not exactly active since they don't agree with what the church teaches. And if they are members, they are inactive whether in mind or body.

They are just active Mormons. Best not to make the world more complicated than what it is already.

The church counts anyone who attends semi-regularly as active. What now?
