The Church opposes a "Real Housewife of SLC" trademarking "Bad Mormon"

The name which is a "victory for Satan" each time it's used to identify the church shall not be used by anyone else.

Grow said in the filing that the church is seeking to protect its trademark and name rights for a term “derived from the name of an ancient prophet who compiled and created an abridgement of many historical and religious records that now comprise The Book of Mormon ...”

He said the church’s Mormon marks have been used extensively in media to identify the church, its beliefs and its services for nearly 200 years. The marks have become famous symbols of “extensive goodwill and consumer recognition” built up by the church through the choir, famous church members, its publications and videos and the “I’m a Mormon” campaign, Grow wrote.

The “housewife” is a ghoul and the church should make it as difficult as possible for her to profit from sin.

In all honesty, I understand he idiomatic intent if that expression, but I don't understand how it got that meaning.

What good is having cake you can't eat?

Russel can speak but he does not know the name of Christ. CHrist is a title after all. Even the aristocratic satan's own title, LORD< is also a title not a name.

Thus how can a church know a god when they don't even know the name of said god?

If I recall, LDS people have a thing about "names" andl ike to be OCD about getting the name correctly in the ward.

To be honest, that's not exactly going to work with humans that Westerners cannot pronounce or the names of gods that they do not know.

A church based around salvation should know how to do the work of Jeshua when talking to tax collectors, low lives, prostitutes, and Samaritans.

But they who cannot do the work of a god, are also ignorant of said god. Their gods are different and operate by different characteristics and principles.
