Complete Headline: President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued the following statement Thursday afternoon regarding the name of the church
"The Lord has impressed upon my mind the importance of the name He has revealed for His Church, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We have work before us to bring ourselves in harmony with his will. In recent weeks, various Church leaders and departments have initiated the necessary steps to do so."
[Snip]
The term "Mormonism" is inaccurate and should not be used. When describing the combination of doctrine, culture and lifestyle unique to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the term "the restored gospel of Jesus Christ" is accurate and preferred.

The Mormons do not have a ‘restored gospel of Jesus Christ, as proven by the many heretical aspects of their religion, a Christian lookalike but noit the real deal. And this new designation will have the same empty assertions.

A friend is a Smith from Utah. Direct descendent of Joseph. Church wrote her off when she married her wife.
Side note: Both are hot

it is NOT the restored gospels of Jesus Christ....
"Christians" are "Christ" centered, not Joseph Smith centered....
love ya Mormons, but this "restored" is a blasphemy to we Christians....

You cannot post things like that unless you’re prepared to offer proof.

Church wrote her off when she married her wife.I don't know why...
Responses showed significant emotional distress, dramatic loss of trust in Church leaders,
and a dramatic decline in Church Activity as a result of the policy.
Individual stories help us to understand where and how different LGBT Mormons find hope,
and why discussion about the Church can be so polarizing.
OH well. Church used to say nasty, going to hell stuff about blacks; too; but look at them now.

No, Elz...I don’t. (Haven’t been in touch with F.I. from “the glory days” of FR re: Lds discussions).
To: Colofornian
Some day (soon?) I, too, will vanish from the pages of FR; nevermore to pontificate in my (insert glowing attributes here) manner.
There’s no one else behind this monitor that knows what I do here; or even how to let you all know of my passing. Perhaps I should place some information in my “When I’m Gone” book.
