    I thought Mormons get their own planet, but other xtians don’t consider LDS “real” xtians, LOL, so there is that.

          Aside from knowing a lot of mormons in the 90s, i found this:

          the person who shared it claims it’s from a book called Tribes published in 1992. That tells me it’s from The Lost Tribes (1992) by R. Clayton Brough, page 148
          also:

            Hrm, interesting. I happen to know many current and ex-LDS and I’ve never heard them say they are not xtians, and I’ve seen more than a few chafe at being called a “cult” and/or “not true xtians”, etc…I could see that above passage being read as lumping all other xtians into a group, but… 🤷

              oh yeah they will and always have chafed at being called a cult. the whole “not true xtian thing”, that i saw them caring about around 2005 i think? there’s been lots of “Joey Smith is the new Mohammad” over the decades
