Once again, you are seeing the same words that you use, but in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they mean something different. Nothing wrong with that as long as the people discussing realize where the other person is coming from.

RE-defining words is what folks who wish to mask their intentions do.

At least you are the first MORMON that I can remember that actually admits the words are different in meaning.

Elsie, I have relatives who live in Australia and there are plenty of words they use over there that mean something very differently than what they mean here is the states. The same type of problem also exists between the Catholics and the Evangelicals.

I am not the first Mormon to ever admit that. There was a book written about that problem. It’s call “How Wide the Divide.”

And I don’t think it’s a matter of Mormons RE-defining the words, because if it was, then wouldn’t the Protestants be guilty of masking their intentions from the Catholics since the Catholics have been around for a much longer time.

Who are the Australians trying to mask their intentions from?
