When reading, wither in print or online, you have to make a concerted effort to leave the text and go find the foot note reference.

I realize that and I don't know many LDS who would not check the footnote/s.
Some of the footnotes do not change the overall meaning of some of the verses but the point I am making is that the LDS KJV does have the JS translations noted in it.

Really? How many Mormons do you know and ask about their specific reading habits of the bible? I am highly suspicious of your assumption. I rarely check the footnotes when I read. When I’m in depth studying I will do searches and cross referencing, it’s a great resource. The text we use is there to be read and not altered. It’s the King James Version, no matter how you try to say otherwise.

As a longtime Mormon (born and raised) I also have to question the idea that all LDS people check the footnotes. I rarely do, actually. But then again, I see them as more of a distraction than anything. I’m just not a footnote type of gal, and that’s including any kind of reading, not just the scriptures.

Anyway, the real point is, the scripture in the fake Christmas card came from the Book of Mormon, not the Bible, and yes, in the LDS Church, they are two completely separate books of scripture.

No Romney supporter would think this is a good idea, so the question becomes “Whodunit?” The answer is, I have no clue.

Unfortunately.

I wrote about this card on my blog, if you want to check it out.

This kind of thing really twerks my ticker, and I sincerely hope they figure out who it is, and soon.
