Hijacking Jesus Christ "Don't Call The Church "Mormon" Please: A Request From The 93-Year Old President of The LDS Church

Golly Gee-Whiz!! this is a tough nut to crack in the eyes of the public when this oh-so-secretive organization with millions of followers and missions all around the world suddenly objects to the common-usage name taken from the front cover of their own catechism THE BOOK OF MORMON
Mebbe that popular Broadway Musical-Hit "The Book of Mormon" hijacked the meaning of the word  Mormon.

Whatever they prefer to be called, it's just another Christian sect claiming rights to be called "The Church of Jesus Christ . . . " when they are so already many? Catholics, Methodists, Baptists, Episcopalians, etc  ....and then they want to go full-Monty adding "of the Latter-Day Saints" ? SAINTS? as if they are holier-than-thou and work miracles? They're getting just a wee-bit too touchy over what they have been commonly called for 200 years: Mormons!

There were posts on the blog site for a couple of years from The Mormon News Report that provided "Your Daily Dose of Mormonism" and called it a NEWS REPORT.



That got changed very quickly when it's easy to associate the phrase Religion is the Opium of The People . . . at the same leaving people if they're self-medicating and getting
addicted to daily doses of what some people call False Prophets, with most of 'the news' from church sources in Salt Lake City, Utah. 
It's most definitely NOT The Holy See - Vatican City. If anything the original Church of Jesus Christ is the Roman Catholic Church that's more 2,000-years old.

The updated style guide states, in part: ( Source: Deseret News )
· In the first reference, the full name of the Church is preferred: "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
· When a shortened reference is needed, the terms "the Church" or the "Church of Jesus Christ" are encouraged. The "restored Church of Jesus Christ" is also accurate and encouraged.
· While the term "Mormon Church" has long been publicly applied to the Church as a nickname, it is not an authorized title, and the Church discourages its use. Thus, please avoid using the abbreviation "LDS" or the nickname "Mormon" as substitutes for the name of the Church, as in "Mormon Church," "LDS Church," or "Church of the Latter-day Saints."
· 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.
· When referring to people or organizations that practice polygamy, it should be stated that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not affiliated with polygamous groups
