People. Can you just not use “Mormon”? You must have seen how it brings out the worse in members. Everyone has to make the obligatory explanation how repulsive and satanic the designation is before they actually (if they ever do) answer your question. Just humor them. Please.

Just don’t use the name of the Lord in vain, however.

I tend to use the Church of J___ C___ of Latter day Saints or LDSaints. If that isn’t friendly enough, too bad.

You can keep in mind that there is a call for the respect of the Name of the Supreme Being even in LDS scriptures

Doctrine and Covenants 107:4

…But out of respect or reverence to the name of the Supreme Being,…avoid the too frequent repetition of his name.

I know they want everyone in the world, no matter how filthy the lips that speak it, to constantly repeat that sacred Name every time they refer to the Church, but you will find that the practice of avoiding such use is supported by the Doctrine and Covenants.

I suggest that if you are not cringed by the abuse of the Lords Holy Name, you need to check your own spirituality.
