MNRU Poll of the week (available only on Anchor)
Is the word “Mormon” a major victory for Satan?
Fetch no! The thousands of people who joined the Church after viewing the expensive, worldwide, and Church Sponsored ‘I am a Mormon campaign’ prove it.
Absolutely! As Elder David Bednar recently remarked at the National Press Club luncheon, we can’t let this pejorative of our enemies define our faith.
I doubt it. Remember, the prophet Joseph Smith said the word Mormon means ‘more good.’
No way! President Thomas Monson was proud to be a Mormon boy, and I am proud to support the MormoNewsRoundup!
You bet! and in order to thwart Satan, we need to immediately change the official name of the ‘Book of Mormon’ to the ‘Book of Moroni’s Dad’
Yes. The word ‘Mormon’ is basically the same as the ‘N word.’
With all the suffering in the world, what difference does it make?
