It has been a cycle. For a period before Hinckley was president (1995-2008), the term Mormon was discouraged. Hinckley was more media savvy and embraced it. Going even further back, Mormon was acceptable. It all depends who is in charge at the time.
- jacurtis 3y agoYeah all Mormons have whiplash from changing doctrines, rules, and guidelines that change throughout their life. I was raised during the "Hinckley" reign. So Mormon was a term of endearment during the time and embraced. Things like the caffeine that is being talked about elsewhere on this thread is similar. When I grew up it was frowned upon, but now its acceptable. The temple covenants and rituals have changed many times throughout my life. I don't attend anymore, but I heard that they just changed it again within the past month or so.
