Of course, not all of the couples in the YFZ community were polygamous, either.

That is true.
There were families, that lived in the ‘burbs’, so to speak, who were FLDS members, but did not accept the spirit brides concept in the same way Warren wanted.
The FLDS doesn’t HAVE to keep polygamy, to keep being FLDS.
The FLDS doesn’t HAVE to keep ‘child brides’, to keep being FLDS.
The existence of some few members, who would not bow down to Warren as God, and accepted the laws of the US and Texas, is proof.
Not yet? Why would anyone be a follower of the FLDS if they didn't believe what it teaches?
Men must have at least three wives in order to get to heaven. It's clearly logical to believe that those men who, at present, have only one wife, will "marry" at least two others eventually.
