"The Mormon Defense League" is out. "MormonVoices" is in.

That change became official Monday, when the Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research announced a name change for its website aimed at defending the teachings and practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

FAIR is a non-profit organization that, according to a press release, is operated by "self-motivated Mormons who seek to improve the public understanding about the church" through conferences, workshops and scholarly articles posted on the organization's websites. While it is dedicated to "providing well-documented answers to criticisms of the doctrine, beliefs and practices" of the LDS Church, it is not owned, controlled by or affiliated with the church.

Did Greg West join FAIR? "Official" with who? They can change their name, but they can't change their (lack of) ability to speak with any semblence of authority. Did anyone else notice that their disclaimer (documenting their lack of sanctioning, blessing, and affiliation) appears in larger print here on FR, than it does at the bottom of their own home page?

 2 Peter 2:1-3

 1.  But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.

 2.  Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.

 3.  In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
