Mormon is a nickname that was originally derived to be derogatory towards members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It has a similar, if not nearly equal, history as the term "*****" They were both used derogatorally. But then accepted by the people described and even used among them. However, being called Mormon tends to give people the idea that we are not Christian. We want to emphasize the name of our church because we are Christian.

I have no problem being associate with such a great prophet. I am proud to be a mormon, I am proud to be associated with such woderful and loving people. Just because you fell away, wich to mean means you just could hack it, you are taking out your self pity on attacking the very thing you long to have and to be, and that is a rightoues person. the bible tells us that the more light a person knows the greater the darkness. I am not sure where so don't ask me. I just know I have read it. So if you think that I am offended to be called a mormon think agian. the only thing that I feel is sorrow that you are so lost.
If you claim to be christian, then you would let others believe what they wish to believe and not attack them but to love them.
I feel sorry for you because you seem to have alot of anger pent up, you really need to let it go.

We just prefer to be called by our proper name, which is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ( LDS for short). I for one don't have a problem with being called a Mormon.

I'm not ashamed to be called a mormon. The correct name of our church as you know, is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints so we prefer the correct name but we aren't "ashamed" to be called mormon.

In 1838, Joseph Smith was told in a revelation that the Church should be called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Doctrine and Covenants 115:4).
The Church has been known by that name since that time. Gordon B. Hinckley, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has emphasized the Church's correct name, saying:
"We believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. The official name of the Church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and He is the central figure in all of our worship.
"The Church carries the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world. It is His name by which this Church is officially called.
"As for the term Latter-day Saints, members of the Christian Church anciently were called Saints. They were former-day Saints. We are the Latter-day Saints. It is that simple.
"We are frequently called Mormons. It is a nickname given us because we believe in the Book of Mormon as the word of God, a book which goes hand in hand with the Bible, becoming a second witness for Jesus Christ."
