I always preferred the former and much more succinct albeit more casual "In Jesus' Name, Amen". It was also uttered much less commonly than the latter and seemed like a more rebellious thing to do -- leaving out "Christ" and all!

inthenameofjesuschristamen

I was also a thee/thou nourishandstrengthenourbodies douchey mo-mo.

inthenameofjesuschristamen

And when I was really insufferably haughty, after reading Talmadge etc and giving blessings, I'd say:

inthenameofjesus-whoisthechrist-amen.

LOL.

The commoner way to say it was "inthenameofjesuschristamen"

but i felt like GAs or other pricks would add more glowing, brown-nosing phrases like you said above:

"In the name of our most holy Savior, Mary's Son, our Redeemer and Lord, the prince of peace, EVEN jesus christ, amen."

it was that EVEN shit that let us know you're upper-echelon douche baggery, haha.

Ya man, upper-echelon douche-baggery indeed!

I was a mere lad of thirty or so when I started my way out, so I could do douche-baggery but not that upper-echelon kind. My father-in-law and one brother-in-law (Bishop by age 27), on the other hand, didn't seem to mind mimicking that GA flowery stuff, and even the EVEN, even.

A lot of water under a lot of bridges since then; and an amen and a goodbye to all that, even.

Lol

Laughing so hard! I never could understand that "EVEN" nonsense. I found myself rolling my eyes so many times.

Oh, and I was an "inthenameofjesuschristamen".

What I used to snicker about all the time was when people, after giving a talk or a lesson, would say:
"In the name of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, amen."
They're not even thinking about what they're saying, just rattling off some syllables by rote.

oh god i know... so annoying..

Funny!

And another Lol, haha

I always used inthenameoftheson drove them nuts!

It was "nameajesuschristamen" in my house. We couldn't afford to say "in the," because Dad kept all the money and the quick ate best.

Even LOL.
