Here we go again...the mormons like to make up their own meanings for words, to suit thier own personal perception of the world. I call this the "Queen of Hearts" syndrome: "Words mean exactly what I want them to mean!"
When a person is steeped in a culture in which the cultural leaders redefine words to have untraditional meanings, for the purpose of making the culture appear to be other than it really is, this begins to affect it's adherents, as we see with Blaine above, and have recently seen with DaveH in his limited definition of the word "teach", which exclusdes his own actions on TT.
Another case in point is the Clinton case where his attempt tp liimit the definition of certain words and phrases to exclude his own actions has been passed down to our youth, who at times use these tactics to try to exclude thier own actions.
Another, but inverse, example is the word "homophobe". In this case the definition of the word has been EXPANDED to include not only those who fear homosexuality (traditional definition), but to include those who beleive that it is sinful behavior.
The root of this is in the "politically correct" movement, where it does not matter what you feel or believe, but how you are perceived.
