I love it. It is very funny. Not sure why it is in bad taste. 

 Same here. I thought it was funny. We don't want to lose our senses of humor-it would turn people off to our church.

I think it is funny too, but it is not something I would support. The contexts for concepts like thugs and mafia and gangsters are not Christ promoting, and would be an image i would try to seperate from christ rather than bind to him.

A brass knuckle with the CTR being worn on the right hand of a brawler is in some aspects funny (mostly from the irony)- but the implied violence is not, nor does it send the gospel message.

Well, sort of.  #thugmormon memes send an ironic opposite of what we really stand for, thus communicating what we do stand for.   It demands some assumed knowledge from the viewer of the meme to 'get it', and when a viewer doesn't get it, they're more likely to go look us up then they would be otherwise. 

 

It's how some folks communicate on the interwebs these days.  It's different than using English words to talk out loud.

 

Just be ready to field the question from someone who saw the meme and wants to know if we're actually thugs or not.  That's what a missionary opportunity looks like, and here one is, dropped in your lap by people passing around these memes.
