Maybe I'm just being silly, but the word Mormon is still SO problematic for us. I was just pondering the following:
1) "Don't call us 'Mormon'. We don't go by that name."
2) "Don't call the FLDS 'Mormon'. They are not part of our Church!"
D&C 132 needs to be amended or deleted ASAP (if GAs really want to cut the cord). Fact is, common heritage and common scripture link the FLDS and the LDS. The vast majority of Mormons believe in Celestial polygamy. It's been 120 years since the Church officially disavowed polygamy. It's time to take that rejection of polygamy to the next level. I wish the LDS Church would set the record straight, clarify a complete (past, present and future) rejection of polygamy, and start an advertising campaign aimed at educating people.

Using this same line of thinking, I've decided to start calling my Lutheran and Methodist friends as, "Fundamentalist Catholics."
