These people have been excommunicated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, so technically not part of the church. However, they get their doctrine and practices from the writings and scripture of the LDS namely the "Book of Mormon", "Doctrine and Covenants" and "Pearl of Great Price." They also will claim priesthood authority through the lineage of the Mormons.

(sitting back quietly now, waiting for the denial from the FReep Mormons......)

American women are STUPID if they take up with any man who has another family somewhere.

American women are stupid if they take up with any man who is a foreigner (That is, one who has not denounced his former nation and become a legal citizen here)

I posted this on another thread. Some people will agree with this assesment.

Then there is Islam Mormonism. Its followers believe that its sacred text, the Koran Book of Mormon, is the word of Allah God as dictated to his prophet Muhammad Joseph Smith. Non-MuslimsMormons might regard Muhammad Smith as a deluded and bellicose man who had far too many wives than was good for him.

Read better. These are not Mormons. Now you are educated and not ignorant. Your welcome

If there is any ignorance, it is on your side of the table. I suggest you read further, sport.

"Now you are educated and not ignorant..." Good Lord...listen to yourself sometime. You sound like a fool's walking caricature.

Yikes. What you describe gives me a really bad vibe, too. Sounds like said girlfriend was nothing but an anchor for those folks to get a foothold...and now she's expendable. Yeesh.

Thanks for pointing that out, counterpunch.

I'm not sure what freeplancer's objection is, but it certainly wasn't researched or logically approached.

Not only that, but her father in law was arrested for cocaine trafficking, and the son still does his 'emerald' business from Columbia to the US.

I suggest that you go to www.lds.org rather than the other site. It is a disguised anti LDS site. For the4 record, I am not a member of the LDS Church. The official, as opposed to the revisionist and outlawed polygamous Revised LDS Church, has outlawed polygamy for at least a century.
