From the article:

A new documentary screening this month at Sundance sheds some light on Warren Jeffs and the Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints community. The film “Prophet’s Prey” from Academy Award nominated director Amy Berg delves into the influence that Jeffs had and has over the fLDS faithful. The film includes audio recordings of Jeff’s instructions to his followers along with footage filmed at Alta Academy in Salt Lake City. The film has five more showings this month at Sundance.

My comment? As the fLDS are, the LDS once were. As the fLDS are now, the LDS may become

This "couplet" reveals:

(a) The fLDS, lifestyle-wise, are essentially "old-time" Mormons;
(b) And, given that the fLDS are openly still polygamous, so, too are the mainstream Mormon church when it comes to "eternal" marriage. You see, you can be married to more than one woman FOR ETERNITY in the Lds; the lone condition is that your previous wife has to be deceased -- waiting for you to join her beyond the veil.

Then when you die, however many wives you took "for eternity" in the LDS temple is how many "forever" wives you have!

(Also, LDS "apostle" Bruce McConkie claimed that the "holy practice" of polygamy would be reinstituted when the Mormon jesus returns to earth (his book Mormon Doctrine, a book which was republished for a while by the LDS church.

Sundance: ‘Prophet’s Prey’ Director Says Warren Jeffs is ‘More Powerful From Prison’

Is he writing Mein Kampf?

I believe Jesus said that there is no such thing as marriage in Heaven. This was in response to a group (Pharisees?) testing him about someone who married
a number of wives, one after the other, following the
decease of each one in turn.

They asked Him which one was the wife of the man being discussed.

‘Pod.

I agree with you...

The way, tho, the LDS AND fLDS twist this is to claim there won't be any additional marriage ceremonies in heaven...as if Jesus' comments was all about the ceremony.

Ah no it waqs one wife and several husbands..

seven brothers each one married her..

The first married her died, then th second married her died and so on..

then after the last brother married her and died, ten the woman died...

the question to the LORD Jesus Christ was “Whose wife will she be in Heaven as all of the brothers were married to her ?”

Then He told them that they erred and that there is no marriage in Heaven..

we are as the angels..etc

Therein is one of the falsities of Mormonism and Islam...

They claim their afterlife is one forever sex orgy...

Where are the pix of those pretty but same-faced Stepford Mormon gals in their prairie dresses & upswept hairdos?

The lovely Elsie will have that pic

Dear Elsie PING to #8

The grave's a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace

The poet Andrew Marvell, a proper Christian, refuted the 'sex in the afterlife' part of Mormon and Islamic Doctrine

(a) The fLDS, lifestyle-wise, are essentially ~~"old-time"~~ TRUE!!! Mormons;

Does I have to?

I did it on another thread about Mormons already...

Dear Elsie PING to #8

How about if I point out how HUFFY and threatening the SLC group gets when the FACTS are shown that the fLDS folks follow what D&C 132 says and the 'modern' Mormons don't??

Media Letter

26 June 2008 — Salt Lake City (http://newsroom.lds.org/additional-resource/media-letter)

*The following is a letter from Elder Lance B. Wickman, General Counsel of the Church to publishers of major newspapers, TV stations and magazines. It was sent out on Tuesday, June 24, 2008.

Recent events have focused the media spotlight on a polygamous sect near San Angelo, Texas, calling itself the “Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.” As you probably know, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has absolutely no affiliation with this polygamous sect. Decades ago, the founders of that sect rejected the doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, were excommunicated, and then started their own religion. To the best of our knowledge, no one at the Texas compound has ever been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Unfortunately, however, some of the media coverage of the recent events in Texas has caused members of the public to confuse the doctrines and members of that group and our church. We have received numerous inquiries from confused members of the public who, by listening to less than careful media reports, have come to a grave misunderstanding about our respective doctrines and faith. Based on these media reports many have erroneously concluded that there is some affiliation between the two – or even worse, that they are one and the same.

Over the years, in a careful effort to distinguish itself, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has gone to significant lengths to protect its rights in the name of the church and related matters. Specifically, we have obtained registrations for the name “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” “Mormon,” “Book of Mormon” and related trade and service marks from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and corresponding agencies in a significant number of foreign countries.

We are confident that you are committed to avoiding misleading statements that cause unwarranted confusion and that may disparage or infringe the intellectual property rights discussed above. Accordingly, we respectfully request the following:

As reflected in the AP Style Guide, we ask that you and your organization refrain from referring to members of that polygamous sect as “fundamentalist Mormons” or “fundamentalist” members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
We ask that, when reporting about this Texas-based polygamous sect or any other polygamous group, you avoid either explicitly or implicitly any inference that these groups are affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
On those occasions when it may be necessary in your reporting to refer to the historical practice of plural marriage in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, that you make very clear that the Church does not condone the practice of polygamy and that it has been forbidden in the Church for over one hundred years. Moreover, we absolutely condemn arranged or forced “marriages” of underage girls to anyone under any circumstances.

Stated simply, we would like to be known and recognized for whom we are and what we believe, and not be inaccurately associated with beliefs and practices that we condemn in the strongest terms. We would be grateful if you could circulate or copy this letter to your editorial staff and to your legal counsel.

We thank you for your consideration of these important matters.

Sincerely,

Lance B. Wickman

General Counsel

I do so wonder to what it refers???

How about if I point out how HUFFY and threatening the SLC group gets...

I'd be a bit upset; too; if I knew that THIS fate was hanging over my head!!!

"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned;

and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given,

and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.

Brigham Young - JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)

Yes; it IS found in Mormon 'scripture'!

The Doctrine and Covenants

Section 132

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Nauvoo, Illinois, recorded 12 July 1843, relating to the new and everlasting covenant, including the eternity of the marriage covenant, and also the plurality of wives (see History of the Church, 5:501–7). Although the revelation was recorded in 1843, it is evident from the historical records that the doctrines and principles involved in this revelation had been known by the Prophet since 1831.

.

58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.

58 Now, as touching the law of the ^apriesthood, there are many things pertaining thereunto.

59 Verily, if a man be called of my Father, as was ^aAaron, by mine own voice, and by the voice of him that ^bsent me, and I have endowed him with the ^ckeys of the power of this priesthood, if he do anything in my name, and according to my law and by my word, he will not commit ^dsin, and I will justify him.

60 Let no one, therefore, set on my servant Joseph; for I will justify him; for he shall do the sacrifice which I require at his hands for his transgressions, saith the Lord your God.

61 And again, as pertaining to the law of the priesthood—if any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse ^aanother, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery for they are given unto him; for he cannot commit adultery with that that belongeth unto him and to no one else.

62 And if he have ^aten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery, for they belong to him, and they are given unto him; therefore is he justified.

63 But if one or either of the ten virgins, after she is espoused, shall be with another man, she has committed adultery, and shall be destroyed; for they are given unto him to ^amultiply and replenish the earth, according to my commandment, and to fulfil the promise which was given by my Father before the foundation of the world, and for their exaltation in the eternal worlds, that they may bear the souls of men; for herein is the work of my Father continued, that he may be ^bglorified.

64 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, if any man have a wife, who holds the keys of this power, and he teaches unto her the law of my priesthood, as pertaining to these things, then shall she believe and administer unto him, or she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord your God; for I will destroy her; for I will magnify my name upon all those who receive and abide in my law.

65 Therefore, it shall be lawful in me, if she receive not this law, for him to receive all things whatsoever I, the Lord his God, will give unto him, because she did not believe and administer unto him according to my word; and she then becomes the transgressor; and he is exempt from the law of Sarah, who administered unto Abraham according to the law when I commanded Abraham to take ^aHagar to wife.

66 And now, as pertaining to this law, verily, verily, I say unto you, I will reveal more unto you, hereafter; therefore, let this suffice for the present. Behold, I am Alpha and Omega. Amen.

Is he writing Mein Kampf?

Well...
