Yesterday, I drove past the Baton Rouge LDS Temple which is being reconstructed (ironically only 2 miles from my house). The visual focus of the structure is the golden statue of the Angel Moroni on top. Ironically, this is after the LDS declaration that your church no longer wants to be called Mormon but rather called the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS.
Why not place a statue of Jesus or a cross there, since your group claims to be Christians? Is Moroni still there because you are really Moroni-ites / Mormons?
What percent of people who drive by this golden statue are reminded of Jesus and think it is a church of Jesus Christ?
Maybe, renaming your church and setting aside the name Mormon needs to be followed by pulling the Moroni's off your temples and install a statue that focuses on Jesus. That would be consistent with your name change.
