"Snuffer movement"?
[edit]- " I have no respect for anyone who calls him/herself a 'Snufferite.' They have no support or encouragement from me."---Denver Snuffer (link), December 27, 2013
- "[...T]here is no such entity as a 'Snuffer-ite.' If you come across someone who calls himself a follower of Denver Snuffer, run the other way. He's either a phony or he just doesn't get it. Those who attended Snuffer's lectures are not Denver Snuffer's followers. They consider themselves followers of Jesus Christ."---Rock Waterman (link), October 5, 2014
- 4 [Nephi 15-17: ...]And it came to pass that there was no contention in the land, because of the love of God which did dwell in the hearts of the people. And there were no envyings, nor strifes, nor tumults, nor whoredoms, nor lyings, nor murders, nor any manner of lasciviousness; and surely there could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God. There were no robbers, nor murderers, neither were there Lamanites, nor any manner of -ites; but they were in one, the children of Christ, and heirs to the kingdom of God.
— "To the homes we have been to, your [Snuffer's] name is spoken in hushed reverent tones, no jokes are allowed to be made about you in a fun teasing way without people glaring. I have noticed a huge amount of people calling themselves ‘Snufferites’ and welcoming us into the ‘Snufferites group’."
Snuffer himself angrily condemned the use of the term.

Restoration edition BoM
[edit]Restoration edition BoM[1] seems quite comparable to the Restored Covenant edition.link [2]. (Note that the Restoration edition is bound together with the Jos. Smith Inspired Version (JSIV) New Testament, which compound volume they've entitled The New Covenants.) --Hodgdon's secret garden (talk) 03:36, 18 March 2018 (UTC)--Hodgdon's secret garden (talk) 15:11, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
Article's title
[edit]It is difficult to choose among shorthand names used for these fellowships, from the sources. Movement folks prefer not be named after Snuffer. The next best choice is "the Remnant," yet it's still not as common as these folks' naming themselves, willy nilly, generically--and never the same way twice! Wikipedia, in its "tertiaryness," oughtn't promote some coinage on its own, either; so, What should we do? I think, maybe: Defer to these folks' very "generic-nesses," within their self-references, by (A) terming them simply as "the movement" or "the fellowships" throughout the body of the article, while (2) in its title and lede, opt for a pretty-purely descriptive title, but, one that uses these folks's not-all-that-uncommon moniker for themselves (that's also, fairly distinct of one, too!) "the Remnant."
wp:NEO: "[...T]here will be notable topics which are well-documented in reliable sources, but for which no accepted short-hand term exists. It can be tempting to employ a neologism in such a case. Instead, it is preferable to use a title that is a descriptive phrase in plain English if possible, even if this makes for a somewhat long or awkward title."

supra-denominational
[edit]I think the word is 'non-denominational', and that's what the word is linked to. It would be useful to this article to name a Christian church or group that officially accepts any form of Mormonism as Christian. Catholics belong to it? Individuals can do what ever they want, but from what I know about Catholicism, if a Catholic joins this group, they are no longer Catholic. --2607:FEA8:D5DF:F945:ED24:8130:B2A0:607B (talk) 13:17, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
