President Newsroom changes his Twitter handle...

Post by _I have a question »

A change in the username for the official Twitter account of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was announced Wednesday by Newsroom.

The username @Ch_JesusChrist has now replaced @ChurchNewsroom.

This change better emphasizes the name of Jesus Christ and helps Twitter users mention the Church more clearly in tweets and personal profiles.

How does it help Twitter users mention the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints more clearly in tweets by replying to @Ch_JesusChrist?

The Mormons are desperately trying to convince the world that it believes in JeZus christ but the world doesn't give a rat's ass what the Mormons believe.

Frankly, the world, in general doesn't care too much for JeZus anymore. JeZus is outdated religious nonsense about eating flesh and drinking blood for sins.

Gross.

Actually, in my experience, such casual use of the name “Jesus Christ” would be considered very inappropriate for many congregations and believers.

@Ch_JesusChrist is more apt for The Church Of Jesus Christ

To be fair, Jesus already has His own Twitter account

Would you like a spoonful of sweet Mormon JeZus to lighten your day?

:lol:

Get your sins forgiven. Confess your sins to the bishop. Tell him the nasty things you've done so he can sprinkle some JeZus sugar on you.

Sisters, have you been reading nasty romantic books or stories?

Brethren, have you been touching yourself inappropriately?

Sprinkle your sins away with CH JeZus from Twitter!

I'm old enough to remember when this was canonized scripture:
D&C 107: 1-4
1 There are, in the church, two priesthoods, namely, the Melchizedek and Aaronic, including the Levitical Priesthood.

2 Why the first is called the Melchizedek Priesthood is because Melchizedek was such a great high priest.

3 Before his day it was called the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God.

4 But out of respect or reverence to the name of the Supreme Being, to avoid the too frequent repetition of his name, they, the church, in ancient days, called that priesthood after Melchizedek, or the Melchizedek Priesthood.

This obsessive focus on the Savior's name accounts for the racist doctrine inadvertently released in a recent church manual.

Too many chiefs.
