“I only wanted to point out the FLDS is not the LDS anymore than the “Westboro Baptist Church” are mainstream Baptists.”
That is silly, Westboro is only an old man and 70 to 100 of his actual family members, it isn’t growing, it isn’t creating anything, it isn’t going anywhere, it is nothing and has no future and is no threat.
The Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints of Jesus Christ on the other hand, are the real thing, powerful, large, international, it has built vast financial wealth, it has roots in a larger even more powerful cult and it is a sect in the growing Latter Day Saint Movement.
Just reading this thread makes it clear that the fLDS is still a part of a larger movement, if it was 90 people off on their own little nut island that weren’t hurting people then we could compare them to a Westboro.
