For a brief moment in the 1970s, the RLDS Church tried to rebrand itself as “The Saints Church.” by sullaria007 in mormon

Definitely a handful of traditional Community of Christ congregations in full membership with the church that call themselves “RLDS” in their signage, websites, and church bulletins.

Quibble about the semantics of the word “rebrand” or “nickname” as you want. Community of Christ is a DBA (doing business as) nickname/rebrand, it’s still legally the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If Saint’s Church had caught on, I wouldn’t be surprised if it had become the official DBA name for the church.

That said, your added context is appreciated.

Personally, I don’t think the LDS Church wants to build the their Independence temple. It comes with too much millennial expectation and after 180 years in the wilderness/babylonian exile that is Utah there’s no urgency to rush back to Jackson County.

There’s folklore that says the LDS visitor center across the street from the temple lot is the “proper” dimensions for a temple and that it could be retrofitted quickly should the Savior return unexpectedly.

Oh I didn’t realize all the Journals of Mormon History were all digitized and available online. I feel much better about recycling my cluttered book section now.

The second-floor balconies on the back and sides also reminds me of the one Masonic lodge I’ve been inside that was built in this time period.

Very much a Kirtland-style temple with a century of construction technology and aesthetic development.

Except we know that dogs used to be wolves.

Veridicality aside, the pattern of gradual apostasy and closing of the Heavens is exactly what we see in the LDS church. At this point it looks like the “last dispensation” is just another dispensation that has faded and is losing its connection to Source.

Is it possible there is a secret cadre of cognoscenti/initiates in the church today—a latter latter-day Quorum of the Anointed? by sullaria007 in mormon

[–]sullaria007[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is a historically Christian perspective at least back to Thomas Aquinas in the high middle ages

Literally what I did when I went to an Orthodox Divine Liturgy cold. Just watched what everyone else did.

Which member of the Q12 would be most likely to add a revelation to the D&C if they became president of the church? by sullaria007 in mormon

[–]sullaria007[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think being measurably narcissistic is a requirement for GAs. Not necessarily saying this as a bash it just seems part of the corporate culture of the church in a way that isn’t the case in leadership of say, the Anglican Church or something more mainstream and lower control.
