Rumor has it, according to my perennially unreliable sources, that when President Nelson was born, he was given the middle name "Mormon." "Russell Mormon Nelson" was his original birth name.

He was reportedly teased about it as a young child and begged his parents to change the name. As a joke, his parents changed the middle name to "Marion".

"Gee, thanks a lot! Marion is a much better name FOR A BOY!" he reportedly shouted at his parents in a heated exchange that was overheard by neighbors. As he slammed the door and stormed out of the family's home, Russell Mormon Nelson noticed that the sound of the door slamming had caused "Shiz" (the family's pet chihuahua) to go into cardiac arrest. Young Russell acted quickly and somehow managed to revive the dog by massaging the dog's chest. This experience helped set Young Nelson on the path to his future career in medicine and gave him the perspective needed to be at peace with his new middle name "Marion".

Well, long story short, according to the rumor, his parents were successful in getting his original middle name ("Mormon") expunged from all the records and replaced with the name "Marion."

I asked my enduringly unreliable sources if they had any proof that this rumor was true. Their response: "Have you seen how much the guy hates the name 'Mormon'? Where do you think that comes from?"

I had no good answer.

Wally, I think you are onto something!
:D

This is choice.

good one !!!! .....!!!!!!!

"Faith in the New Name" section?

Since Rusty's trip to Africa and demanding that the poor pay their tithing his new name is Russell Money Nelson.

This is pretty scary Wally Prince, but I love how your imagination nearly rivals that of even, Joseph Smith, Jr.

One of the most important reasons why we all keep going to Church is because we have a super strong testimony that it is super righteous of us to get the super poor people of Africa assimilated into thinking that they need to send money to SLC so poor Heavenly Father can have some more money for the holy Brethren to manage. It just brings tears of correlated joy to my eyes how Heavenly Father just doesn't have enough and he needs so much more. I certainly am glad that your joke about the Holy Nelson was "Money" instead of that "M" word which I will not repeat because the Holy Nelson says its a victory for Satan. And thanks to the beloved Correlation program grooming me (since I was a toddler with a strong testimony of the Nursery Cheerios) into the sensible-thinking non-brainwashed non-delusional person that I am so obviously today I'm not going to give that evil Satan demon any victories unknowingly.

It's the tears that are correlated, the 'joy' (what little there is) isn't correlated.

more on this later if U insist, GNPE

Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands
And make a stash

Temple name Mahonri?

I think (some of) your unreliable sources need to meet with a panel of RfM regulars; informal but truthful & to the point.

OK?

We're talking about the same kid that thought he was better than everyone else. I think he's sticking to the story that he was too good to play football. "Coach. Don't play me. I have intricate hands that are needed for surgery."

And I think the reality was something like this. "Please coach. Just one play. Let me be quarterback today" begged Rusty.

"Go sit on the bench. When I need a runt, I'll call for you."

Wally,

Love your stories. Thanks!

This story takes the gold...now its up to you to get the MormoCult to give it to you.

It is believable and fun. And, I'll tell you what, Mormon church is neither. :) When I started to pay attention to some of the weird "beliefs" of this church I was attending with friends, the life after death promise I'd fallen for and so wanted to be true, shook me to the core.

The obvious answer is "aliens."
