“The faith has the famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir, recently made a documentary about its members called ‘Meet the Mormons’ and uses ‘Mormon’ in its official website addresses. But on Thursday, church President Russell M. Nelson said he wants people to stop using ‘Mormon,’ or ‘LDS’ as substitutes for the full name of the religion: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” - USA Today

My suggestion, given that they’re abandoning names they gave themselves rather quickly, is the “indecisive people who would really appreciate it if you stopped accusing them of polygamy, which they save for their version of Heaven.”

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
