[Dave Chadwick - Author @DChadwickAuthor]

My fellow Latter Day Saints, respectfully, it’s time to let this one go. This is an initiative whose time has passed.

I know many people still deeply admire President Nelson and wish to carry on his teachings and wishes. I understand and respect that impulse.

But policing people’s language in this matter, both inside the church and out, is not only rude but also intellectually disingenuous. We leaned into the term Mormon since the days of the prophet Joseph Smith. We owned it and took it on ourselves as our identity.

We did that, nobody else.

We call our belief system Mormonism. This is how language works. Not only that, it makes us distinct from other denominations.

This was the whole point of the restoration. Joseph Smith restored the gospel away from the apostasy that had been happening for almost two thousand years. A distinct and defining term for this is appropriate.

Nobody believes we worship Mormon. This is absurd. There is no confusion of who members of the church actually worship. We worship Jesus Christ.

I have never, not once in my life, been ashamed of being a Mormon. And neither should we. With all due respect to President Nelson, I implore you to heed President Hinckley’s wise words on this matter. But not only his, also President Monson’s:

Dare to be a Mormon;
Dare to stand alone.
Dare to have a purpose firm;
Dare to make it known.

This video of 9-11 in 2001 is trending in 2026 because many are saying it's the first time they've seen the video. It shows the plane hitting the second tower.

The fact that New York City has a pro-Islamist Mayor who sanitizes the terrorists responsible for murdering nearly 3,000 innocent Americans on 9/11 is an absolute disgrace to the city, the victims, and their families.
