NOM

Methodists, Baptists, Episcopalians, Catholics, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, and COJCOLDS. The last one isn't really a name, although it serves as the closest thing for those forbidden to call themselves Mormons or LDS. Those names have been purged from the COJCOLDS lexicon.

The Church without a name's media department would like all other media to drop the name Mormon and LDS but offer no replacement words other than a sentence long official title, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the COJCOLDS).This leaves no choice other than for the members to call themselves COJCOLDSers, since it would sound strange to call themselves former LDS or former Mormons.

Most likely everyone except card-carrying COJCOLDSers will continue to use the name Mormon. I imagine many COJCOLDSers will try to correct them and tell them the Mormon Church no longer exists. Non-Mormons may find this to be quizzical, but once the new pronunciation of COJCOLDS is known most likely they will be happy to refer to you as a COJCOLDS and accept you as a shining example of the COJCOLDS faith. BTW, it is pronounced codge colds.

And Let's not for forget that Satan also triumphs when we use the name LDS. President Nelson said that responsible news outlets will now use the full name of the church in their reporting. I'm curious to know if KSL Channel 5 news spelled out the entire name on its banners. KUTV was full on LDS as usual.

Why not:
COJCOLDSists
COJCOLDSics
or COJCOLDSalians?

There has to be a short standardized name or people will keep using LDS or Mormon. Offering a name change for the Church without offering a new name that members can call themselves seems short sided. Even if the desire to deep six the Mormon brand is based on wanting to end the self-inflicted stigma of Mormonism, members still need to call themselves something.

CJ COLDS sounds like a nice microbrew...

Well since the problem is the devil laughing, maybe they need a name that will make the devil cry...

How about the 'anti-satanists'. That pretty much covers it.

Add The onto the front of COJCOLDS and it becomes:

TCOJCOLDS

Let's add in some helpful and arbitrary phonetic spaces:

TCO J COLDS

Include on helpful vowel near the beginning:

TaCO J COLDS

Adjust the capitalization:

Taco J. Colds

And now you have a name that sounds like the cartoon sidekick of a detective. Yes, Taco J. Colds is the kind of wise-cracking spiritual leader that surely you will want to guide you in all of your ways.

Going to take a page out of the book of he who must not be named lest Satan laugh in delight...

COJCOLDites

ETMOTCOJCOLDS

EVEN the members of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints

ETMO's for short

Okay.

A Catholic, a Muslim, and a Mormon walk into the Provo offices of NAMBLA. The Catholic goes to the counter and the receptionist asks his affiliation. "I'm a Catholic," he says. The receptionist informs him that they do not take Catholics. Next, the Muslim goes to the counter and meets with similar results. Finally, the Mormon approaches the counter and informs the receptionist that he is a "Member". The receptionist responds, "go right in Sir".
