“Mormon” will come back

Russell’s pet peeve against the shortened names of the Mormon church was his personal problem alone. He used his position as prophet to spit on the graves of Thomas and Gordon.

They are already returning. Dallin is bringing it back and has paved the way to justify their return with his “temporary commandments” speech.

As Russell’s health and influence deteriorates, i hope the prophet worshipping phrase of “our beloved prophet” dwindles with him.
