Nothing in Nelson's recent "impression" (his characterization of it) has any logical consistency to it.
"Mormon" is bad because it does not expressly refer to Jesus Christ.
"LDS" is bad because it does not expressly refer to Jesus Christ.
"Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" is good because it expressly refers to Jesus Christ.
"Latter-day Saint" is good, even though it does not expressly refer to Jesus Christ. But don't forget that "LDS" is still bad, even though it stands for "Latter-day Saint." (Maybe it's too close to LSD?)
"The Church" is good even though it does not include an express reference to Jesus Christ. (Remember the Church of Satan is also called the Church by it's adherents.)
These changes are all necessary because.. living prophet guy. But all other previous living prophet guys didn't think that it was important and many of them reveled and luxuriated in the words "Mormon" and "LDS" and celebrated their use at every turn.
Don't try to find any logic in any of it, or your head will start spinning...slowly at first, like Linda Blair in the Exorcist, but then gathering speed...faster and faster and faster until it generates an electromagnetic field that creates an opening into the spirit world that you can walk through, bypassing the birth-death cycle that has heretofore affected us all....Ah! Now I know what Nelson is up to.... That sly dog!"
