Mormons have been calling themselves Latter Day Saints for some 181 years now. 181 years! Joseph Smith lived in the "latter days," and since then, a couple of generations have come and gone.

When first started, the emphasis of the church name was placed on "Latter Day Saints." Since then, they've tried to put the emphasis on The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints. Nice touch, but other Christian religions just aren't falling for it.

So I propose that for every generation that comes and goes, the Mormon church has to add another "Latter" to their name. Ah heck, just for easier calculation, we'll say every 100 years.

The Church should officially be renamed to be "The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Latter Day Saints." In 2030, the name should change to "The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Latter-Latter Day Saints." Obviously the first hundred years the church was formed were not the latter days. And apparently the second hundred aren't either.

Every plague, pestilence, Century, war, famine, false prophet, earthquake and shooting star is a sign of the imminent Second Coming. Again.

I prefer The Church of Jesus Christ of Even Latter-day Saints.

You know how those Mormons love the word Even thrown into their sentences.

And you have to say "Even" very slowly, with a solemn tone of voice with a hint of self righteousness.

Then wouldn't it have to be "The Church of Latter-day Saints, even the Mormons"?

And for the 200th anniversary renamed to "The Church of Jesus Christ, Yay Even Latter-Day Saints"

I was driving with my son past "The First Christian Church of....".

My son said "I would be more worried if it was the "LAST Christian Church of ...".

Yea even Thomas S. Monson should announce the renaming of "The Church of Jesus Christ, yea even the Latter day Saints."

That's what I thought it was as a kid.

When I say the name of the church I always say it quietly except for the JESUS CHRIST part. It's crazy how offended people get
