Looks like this one is being bid high because it stands for Latter Day Saint... I am one so I hope whoever buys it if they use it for a Church site that it is accurate...

wow, there might be hope yet for my jehovahwitness.mobi....

etimms

I think LDS.mobi is worth more though because it is three letters... you could maybe sell your domain to the Watchtower of the Jehovah Witnesses... one thing both churches share in common is sending out missionaries... you could use your .mobi to post info to help the missionaries as they look up facts on the road

Looks like LDS.mobi is actually $5500, looks like someone really wants it, could be the Mormon Church????

Oh yeah, I know that my name does not compare to LDS.mobi, but I still think it's a good name, definitely well worth the reg fee ++

MrRhee

Mormons already bought Families.mobi, so who knows what else they want?

dag

And the current registrant is based in Utah, so I'm guessing it's definitely the Mormons...

nice letters & hope for seller that it's a genuine sale.
tbh, do you get a $5500 bid for a LLL.mobi & send to auction?
er, no. you negotiate with an enduser

etimms

Arnie, I would set the price high enough and then go to auction with your end user bidding in a marketplace. If you've figured out about the max your end user will pay see what more an auction could do.

I don't know who is bidding on this name. It could be The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, someone influential in the church (there are many successful businessman in the Church i.e. the founder of Marriot), or someone completely different. I tried to buy this name from the seller so I could donate it to the Church but he did not accept my offer. I believe they own Mormon.mobi, FamilySearch.mobi and Families.mobi. There would be many good uses for LDS.mobi. I see people in all the time reading scriptures on a handheld device.

Wow, I would have never thought of this but it makes sense. Just checking all my LLL's now in the acronym finder for churches

found one NLC New Life Church

Nice to see some LLL's getting good bids on them.

this is predictable

i think it could go very very high as it is ideal for missionaries who will carry cellphones and will be working all over the world

the lds church is a wealthy organization and would no doubt really want this domain, even if only to protect against it's very vocal group of detractors

Who exactly are the "vocal group of detractors"? Just curious.

I mean, I know there are detractors regarding polygamy, but the mormon church doesn't endorse that anymore, at least not officially.

Personally, I think they should leave the polygamists alone as long as they are not marrying children off.

RJ

Al Sharpton is pretty vocal. He was in a spot of controversy this past week after saying something about LDS.

Every religion has its share of "vocal detractors". So let's just leave it there and not turn this into a religious thread please.

Sure, I was just curious about that statement because it didn't make much sense to me.

etimms

Nombre, I think you are right. Maybe they tried to get it in the landrush but did not... I would not be surprised if they were trying to buy it to protect the name but I also think they would probably develop it... interesting enough here are the WHOIS for a few other churches... it will be interesting to see how churches use DotMobi or could these go to the respective churches based off of copyright

sites like exmormon.org are numerous on the internet

some people say that the mormon religion is to be blunt, a cult

there are many who have issues with the lds church on issues like polygamy, gay rights, race, womens rights etc

the lds church has until just recently, been a white males only allowed club for virtually every top position even at the local level, for many years blacks were viewed with extreme prejudice

this is slowly changing but it is still a bastion of conservatism and draws a lot of heat from protestant evangelicals, catholics etc

the detractors, especially the ex-mormons are absolutely devoted to being anti-church and breath their own brand of fire, if they knew about lds.mobi and could afford it i'm sure they would have bought it

for the record let me say i am not anti-mormon in any way, i find their religion and all religions and especially "cult" and non-typical religions to be most interesting
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=326851

i have regular contact with a mormon woman who is the kindest most generous soul you could ever meet, if she is typical of the lds church, they must be a fine bunch

i reccomend a book called "under the banner of heaven" by jon krakuer (into thin air, into the wild) for a fascinating true story of two brothers who were mormon polygamists, it would never make the churches official reading list but is an engrossing read about the history of their church

ginggang

Finaly found something that my domain might mean

1JW.mobi 1 Jehovah Witness

Morgan

Hopefully this will raise the prices of LLL.mobi even further love seeing them go up in value Although kind of makes me wish i had of bought more.

Unfortunately people, I do not honestly believe that the sale of LDS.mobi will raise the prices of other LLL.mobi's. The ONLY reason this LLL is selling so is because it's an acronym for the Mormon Church.

Mormons are always worried about others portraying "inaccurate" information about them. So, this would suggest why they will stop at no price in order to get LDS.mobi. Believe me, a Mormon, or the Mormon Church, WILL GET THIS DOMAIN. That simple.

As for a mobile site for missionaries to view on their cell-phones, think again. Mormon Missionaries are not allowed to have cell phones while on their mission. If they had cell phones, it would encourage contact with their own families, and this is discouraged. So, no mobile site for the Mormon Missionaries.

In any case, let's HOPE that ya'll Mobiers benefit from this sale some how. Good day.

Nombre, I started this thread to discuss the sale of LDS.mobi... it is not meant to discuss the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints... but since you have made some statements that could make someone believe something false about my faith I will correct you... its ok to ask honest questions about any faith, but the minute they seem like attacks i step in...


some people say that the mormon religion is to be blunt, a cult

If you want to be honest about this you would say ok I've heard this and then do some research. If you only listen to one side who has this point of view it is like asking a Ford Dealer if you should buy a Chevy. Without any doubt in my mind the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, my church is not a cult... along with seeing people who share this incorrect view also visit www.lds.org or www.mormon.org


there are many who have issues with the lds church on issues like polygamy, gay rights, race, womens rights etc

With regard to the issue of polygamy to be consistent if you were to condemn the early leaders of the LDS church for it, you would also have to condemn many people in the Old Testament such as Abraham who did practice it... Abraham is also called a friend of God in the New Testament... You could say that Abraham was a prophet of God which he was but we believe in living Apostles(hence prophets) and this follows the model in the New Testament of The Church of Jesus Christ. What I am trying to say here is a fair position could be it is ok for Abraham to be a Polygamist because he was a prophet and it was done under God's guidance, but I don't believe the LDS Polygamy was done under God's guidance because I don't believe they are living apostles. That position is wrong, but it is at least an honest fair question.

With regard to woman's rights may I point out our Church holds motherhood in the highest regard... that's the best way to empower women... Utah was also the first state to allow women to vote and the first two women to graduate from Harvard were LDS.

for the record let me say i am not anti-mormon in any way, i find their religion and all religions and especially "cult" and non-typical religions to be most interesting

Please do not refer to the church as a cult... if you truly believe this ... I would challenge you to read the Book of Mormon have the missionaries over and pray and fast... then see if you still feel that way... i'm not saying you have not done this, but if you haven't i suggest it... it will change your life... also thank you for your comments about your friend...

I can't wait to see what happens here when CatholicChurch.mobi is sold

dubstep

Hey me too...and I keep wishing I had more as well!

garrett200

I don't think LDS.mobi is on auction anymore, it's not there. I wonder what happened????




Um, I think I would be quite happy if I were you. I only have one, I wish I had your portfolio!

etimms

i wish i had more LLL.mobi also... if catholicchurch.mobi is sold it should be discussed because of the domain... we don't need to post about the church good or bad, but if someone posted something bad, i'd hope a Catholic would come to its defense...

Jeff

Yeah, has the link for the suppposed LDS.mobi auction on Sedo even been posted (and why does it seemingly HAVE to stand for "Latter Day Saints")?

Thanks for the assist.
