Lol at the title of this thread. Don’t know how I missed it earlier. I just scrolled through on my phone and chuckled.

I never thought of this...I am so laughing!!!SteelHead wrote:Up next - the new "I'm not a Mormon" media blitz.
Spend millions and millions of dollars on the "I'm a Mormon" media campaign. These guys are lucky they don't have actual stock holders.
Jesus just can't make up his mind so keeps wasting tithe dollars.

Did you deny the Holy Ghost? I did more than that, I kicked him in the rear, choked him by the throat, and threw him out the door.
I killed Holy Ghost!

Actually this rebranding is a complete U-Turn of the last decade or so. When the Church ran a strategy of actively and specifically utilising the term ‘Mormon’ to brand itself - I’m A Mormon, Mormon Newsroom, The Mormon Channel, Meet The Mormons, Mormons And Gays, Mormon.org etc.
Is that an admission that the Mormon branding strategy has been a failure? Did the Brethren not pray before going down the road of spending $millions (billions?) on the “Mormon” branding? If they did, has Jesus changed His mind or did they misread or ignore Him the first time?
They seem to be spending the widows mite in increasingly willy nilly fashion.

Re: It’s the Church of Jesus Christ Gawd Damit
The Church of Christ was the original name of the Latter Day Saint church founded by Joseph Smith. Organized informally in 1829 in New York and then formally on April 6, 1830, it was the first organization to implement the principles found in Smith's newly published Book of Mormon, and thus represents the formal beginning of the Latter Day Saint movement. Later names for this organization included the Church of the Latter Day Saints (by 1834 resolution),[1] the Church of Jesus Christ,[2] the Church of God,[2] the Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints,[3][4] and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (by an 1838 revelation).[5][6]
Smith and his associates asserted that the Church of Christ was a restoration of the 1st-century Christian church, which Smith claimed had fallen from God's favor and authority because of what he called a "Great Apostasy". After Smith's death in 1844, there was a crisis of authority, with the majority of the members following Brigham Young to Utah Territory, but with several smaller denominations remaining in Illinois or settling in Missouri and in other states. Each of the churches that resulted from this schism considers itself to be the rightful continuation of Smith's original "Church of Christ", regardless of the name they may currently bear (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), Community of Christ, The Church of Jesus Christ (Bickertonite), Church of Christ (Temple Lot), etc.).
