At least I’m blue, my favourite colour. Perhaps 30lbs oveweight. Does that look good on a Shih Tzu?

I’m not a technician, but I guess we can pretty well call anybody anything and be on target.

Yeah, our church is silly with that we’re the only Mormons nonsense. Moreover, the almost denial of our polygamist history is silly and a bit less than candid. I think we should be honest about polygamy and say we abandoned the practice after the church leaders prayed regarding the continued practice vs compliance with US law, and recieved revelation to stop. Later that monogamy policy was extended church wide, even in nations that permit polygamy. After all, had Jeff’s church practiced polygamy with some modern sensibilities, like no “marriages” under age 18 and no abandoning male children, etc, we wouldn’t even know about them. Voluntary polygamy isn’t a big deal and there’s no reason to be embarrassed by our history.

In reality, since a Disciple of Christ is a Protestant denomination, I can actually call him anything I choose and be on target – including a Catholic, since all Protestants are a breakaway of the Catholic faith.

Or rather a Disciple of Christ.

I guess that makes Jim Jones a Southern Baptist then.

Huh. I didn't know the church was insisting "Mormon" couldn't be anyone other than an LDS. What else do you call all those splinter groups that claim allegiance to the Book of Mormon?

But I see the church issued a press release on 13 September 2000.
