Official sites are sites supported by LDS officials unless said official sites are considered unofficial by said officials.At that point such sites are unofficial unless officially referenced for official purposes by officials who can do so officially.This should not be misconstrued as an indication that official sites can be unofficially recognized as official nor should it be implied that unofficial sites cannot contain official information, but are not officially allowed to be offical despite their official contents due the their unofficialness.Official sites will be official and recognized as official by officials of the LDS unless there is an official reason to mark them as unofficial either temporally or permanently, which would make the official content officially unofficial.This is also not to imply that recognized sites, often used on FR by haters and bigots cannot contain official information, it just means that content, despite its official status, is no longer official and should be consider unofficial despite the same information being official on an official site elsewhere.Even then the officialness my be amended due to the use of the unofficial information which may determine the officialness of anything be it official or unofficial depending on how and where it is used officially or unofficially.
Your capturing & citing Ejonesie's classic Flying Inman assessment never fails to size up Mormonism with perfect clarity:
What's "funny" in Mormonism is that an employed "PR" rep of Lds, Inc....
...is more fully embraced by Mormon grassroots (who want to "look good" in the eyes of their "Gentile" neighbors)
...than the DIRECT words spoken by their 19th and 20th century "prophets" and apostles!
Utterly unbelievable!!!
We've noted how numerous FREEPER Mormons thru the years will quickly side with the "PR" rep as representing "official" Mormondom -- quoting them...
...all while casting Brigham Young, or Mitt Romney's GG Grandfathers, Orson and Parley Pratt (Lds "apostles"); or Lds "apostle" Bruce McConkie, under the bus.
