It always strikes me that the LDS general authorities and LDS grass roots can be so vigorous to distance themselves from fundamental LDS polygamists in the Southern part of Utah/No AZ--all over (a) polygamy; and (b) which prophet to follow...

That is a telling point. Any questioning of mormon theology, even when buttressed by sources from mormon literature and their own Book of Mormon is immediately attacked as "mormon bashing" or "anti-mormon". Smacks of the methods of the left.
