mercyngrace Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) When you set up your facebook account and list your religion info as Latter-day Saint, the thumbnail is of Joseph Smith. Is there a way to have that changed to a picture of Christ? Don't we have enough trouble already with people thinking we worship Joseph Smith?Just a thought.

bluebell Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) If you type in 'the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' the thumbnail is a stain glass picture of the first vision, though you can't see JS in it unless you click on it to enlarge it.

Jigglysaint Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I suppose it's just a way of emphasising the unique aspect of the faith. I assume Catholics get something like a picture of the pope, or if it's an image of Christ, a Catholic image of Him.Really if I could, I'd just change the thumbnail to that gif I have of a Jigglypuff wearing a halo.

Libs Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Or you could just put Christian. You get a picture of Christ sitting on a throne. Link to comment

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Jigglysaints.Since I didn't actually list my religion on FB, I was curious what it was. It's the portrait of Christ Handing the Keys to St. Peter by Pietro Perugino (1481-82)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Perugino_Keys.jpgCuriousity got the best of me... 1 Link to comment

Praise is typically, but not exclusively, earned relative to achievement and accomplishment... In Christianity, praise is the act of using words to celebrate good things, and can be used as part of worship to glorify God, or given to other people in recognition of a job well done. wikiWorship is an act of religious devotion usually directed to one or more deities. wiki 3 Link to comment
urroner Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) I vote for this picture:A good Evangelical friend of mine, liking to push Mormons' buttons, calls this picture "Jesus and His Polygamous Wives." Edited July 15, 2011 by urroner Link to comment
K-2 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I think a Moroni with trumpet picture would be nice. Link to comment
blueadept Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I think a Moroni with trumpet picture would be nice.Many nonmembers wouldn't understand that one IMO and would wonder what the role of Christ would be.I would vote for a picture of the First Vision. That distinctly depicts the LDS vision of their relationship with Christ and it's loved by its members.My 2 cents 1 Link to comment
cinepro Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 A good Evangelical friend of mine, liking to push Mormons' buttons, calls this picture "Jesus and His Polygamous Wives."Wait a second...what...? That's totally uncalled for. I just thought it was a nice picture of Jesus teaching the Laurel class about rose horticulture. Link to comment
