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?
Simple question - is the AUSTRALIAN BoM written with DIFFERENT words than the AMERICAN original?
