Nelson is a flim-flam man -- a retired doctor acting as if he's an important messenger from God. He's a fake prophet and an idiot. The sorry old coot reports to the LDS board. If he gets too crazy they'll escort him to the nearest closet in the temple and lock him up.
I don't think he'll live long anyway. Whose next? Oaks? Or is it dogman?
Non-prophet, non-profit... tomato, tomato Maybe lds/Mormon/The church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints leaders feel a lack of faith and demand support in their delu$ion that their corporate empire built in the name of Jesus Christ - at the expense of the almost 1,000,000,000 starving.
“When we are confronted with evidence that challenges our deeply held beliefs we are more likely to reframe the evidence than we are to alter our beliefs. We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')
With the slow but sure progression from Book of Mormon pure history to a nuanced spiritual wonder, I assume it's best to start losing those pesky fictional angels from such direct relationship to identity branding.
We bought it—we may as well own it. It’s like the pope insisting that Catholics refer to their church as the Apostolic Roman Catholic Church. It’s much too big a mouthful.
(CNN)The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is embarking on a rebranding effort of sorts.
The church, commonly referred to as the Mormons, really wants people to stop using that word. It also wants people to stop using LDS as an abbreviation. From now on, it prefers that people use the church's full name, and when a shortened reference is needed, to just use "the Church" or "Church of Jesus Christ."
These preferences are contained in a new style guide that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released Thursday. It states that 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." It also asks that the term "Mormons" not be used in references to members.

"Jesus gave us the gospel, but Satan invented church. It takes serious evil to formalize faith into something tedious and then pile guilt on anyone who doesn’t participate enthusiastically." - Robert Kirby
