Are you saying you had no association with the LDS other than a distant relative used to be a member??
#2...I am an Evangelical Protestant.
That's kind of generic...do you attend a church or fellowship with a certain denomination?
I have LOTS of current Lds relatives...PLENTY of associations with LDS -- both as CURRENT relatives; PAST relatives...and, yes, Lds friends & contacts!
That's kind of generic...do you attend a church or fellowship with a certain denomination?
Well, there's ALL kinds of Catholics...
Vatican-focused Catholics...non-Vatican focused Catholics...
Mary & saint-veneration Catholics...and non-Mary & saint-veneration focused Catholics...
Jesuit flavored Catholics...
Knights of Columbus Catholics...
Franciscan flavored Catholics...
Dominican flavored Catholics...
Paulists flavored Catholics...
Benedictine flavored Catholics...
Dozens of OTHER Catholic-orders flavored Catholics...
Liberal Democratic Catholics...
Etc etc etc...
And yet when FR posters "ID" themselves as "Catholic," we don't hear: "That's kind of generic...which brand of Catholicism do you most identify with?"
