if you study their scripture close, you will find that the LDS is a spin off of the FLDS. the LDS have chosen to be more politically correct than the FLDS. ie: changing doctrine to get statehood and the like. if you really want to respect a religion, respect the one that has stayed true to it’s roots, like the FLDS, whether or not you agree with their philosophies.

Here! Here! Are the Protestant denominations that broke off from the Catholic Church called “Fundamentalist Catholics”? Of course not. These break-offs from the LDS Church are no more Mormons, than a Lutheran is a Catholic.

Thank you for helping shed light on this important distinction. As a practicing member of the LDS Church it is more than frustrating to be erroneously included with the FLDS group. We as a church body must do more to ‘define ourselves’ and not let the media or events inaccurately paint us.

In my opinion, the Media here has done a pretty good job at distinguishing between the two groups. As I can see on the posts here on a regular basis, it seems that those with a bias towards the mormons enjoy perpetuating the inaccuracies.
