What lies?
There is a connection.
They both believe in the Book of Mormon and they both come from Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.
To say there is no connection is stupid. People really do know better.
I know the current Mormon church does not practice polygamy. But don’t try and tell me there is no connection. In fact read the last 3 paragraphs. Proof of a connection.
The fLDS are Mormons: lock, stock and barrel all the way.
