...is because they’re not. If they ever had been, this wouldn’t be an issue between them and other churches.

Right?

Exactly.
If you already know the sun comes up every morning, you don't have to go around announcing it will happen.

I tried to explain to Mormons that the reason for Repentance & Forgiving is 100% to heal relationships;

Thud.

Don't they want to be Smithians any more?

They all seem to be impressed with Bednar. Why not become Bednarians? Davy would love, love, love that.

If something is obvious you don't need to prove it
If it is not you may not be able to prove it.

And when it's obviously wrong, it's not easy to defend.

I can think of two reasons.

They need to ditch the BoM because it is so racist it is impossible to salvage, and scientific evidence completely contradicts the historical narrative it spins. This leaves a huge hole in their identity. Fill it with Jesus H.

The only people who show any interest in Mormonism are those raised in other Christian denominations, primarily Catholicism. Buddhists, Moslems, Hindus or secular humanists are certainly not beating a path to their door. The new logo definitely has the same vibe as Catholic or Orthodox iconography. Protestant denominations tend to use highly abstract crosses or flames in their logos. Jesus is a marketing hook to appeal to lapsed Catholics in particular, and lapsed Christians in general.

the exclusivity that they depend upon for their claims.

Joe restored nothing because it wasn't lost in the first place.

Nothing to see here, move along.

I hope they mainstream themselves into oblivion.

I don't know about now, but when I went through the temple, it was Satin himself that coached the protestant preacher on what to tell people. Why is the Mormon church now trying to suck-up to all of these other churches now all of who are followers of Satin? Were they wrong then or are they wrong now? The mormon church uses Jesus like a commodity. Throw in a little Jesus in to the pot when needed to enhance their own legitimacy.

'Cause it ain't!

[To justify its greed, haphazard spending and errant goals]

To make up for its putting "the 'church'" [(mis)"leaders"/ THEMSELVES] first, before Christ, the members, and the world.

I'm just going to call it JSMC from now on (Joseph Smith's Mormon church), or BS for short (Buncha Smiths) (Backward Saints). Because that what it is!
