To: Choose Ye This Day
There are idiots on every one of these Flds threads saying that the LDS Church is no different than the FLDS Cult; we're exactly the same; we're morally (or immorally) equivalent.

OK. Compare 1880s mainstream Mormonism to 21st century fundamental Mormonism. Other than...
...(a) having less isolated leaders in the 1880s than fLDS...and...
...(b) having less every-aspect-of-your-life controlled than fLDS tend to do...and...
...(c) the lost boys' phenomena prominent with fLDS...
...other than these things...what was so decidedly different about 1880s mainstream Mormons than current fLDS?

That’s your problem. You’re living 120 years in the past. You’re saying that because we were polygamists (because 10-20% of the church was into the plural thing) 12 DECADES AGO, that somehow TODAY we are EXACTLY the same as this FLDS cult today.

This may shock you, and it may be difficult for you to wrap your mind around, but here goes: I did not live in the 1880s. Or 1870s. Or 1860s. The last time I checked, it is 2008.

By the way, the bold LDS thing on your fLDS acronym? It’s getting old. Too clever by a half.
