Ok. My friendship with JAK? Why don't you ask JAK about that?

(by the way, "jack Mormon" is a slang term in the U.S.---possibly just the West?---that means someone who is only nominally Mormon. Someone who goes to church now and then, but doesn't, say, take the world of wisdom seriously. So "JAK Mormon" was a pun on this, meaning someone who isn't a Mormon at all, I guess!)

I was always told that a "jack Mormon" was someone who was a friend to Mormons and maybe even interested in the church but not actually a member. Am I wrong about this? I feel kind of stupid now.

I think I've heard that before, but my circle usually refer to those kinds as "dry Mormons".

You're not entirely wrong. The definition you supply was used back in Joseph Smith's day. It has evolved into the meaning Blixa described ever since the Utah days.
