      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

        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
