“That said, equating FLDS with LDS is about like saying that the snake handlers are representative of all Baptists.”

Hmmmmm... I didn’t think, while reading the article, that the writer was equating FLDS with LDS.

I think the point was that the Mormons(LDS) are having to educate the rest of the country to the fact that FLDS is not ‘just like’ LDS.

First off, the Mormons don’t drink coffee, or caffeine products.

The FLDS do. (Warren needed them up day and night to work)

Second, the Mormons aren’t predicting the END OF THE WORLD every month or so, and they don’t isolate themselves from the rest of society.

I don’t think anyone on these threads thinks FLDS is the ‘same’ as LDS.

Red. LDS still uses the color "red" but FLDS banned that color. There's a difference on children's toys too. FLDS doesn't want the kids to get attached to them ~

There are other differences of far greater note.

Even Ervil LeBaren knew they were different. That's why he tried to take them over.

I only read a bit of the article. The headline, if nothing else, equates the two.

Maybe not the same but close enough for horseshoes.
