I see not much differance between the FLDS or the LDS and they Muslims.

Praise God! You ‘get it’. I get so tired of people on FR who don’t and think this is part of the LDS past.
The doctrines haven’t changed, just the practice is limited and then only to a degree.
And Praise the Lord for you, as I read your TAG LINE. That is praiseworthy.
Seems to me they’re pretty much all on the same page....maybe one abuses more than the other is all. But they all are surely messed up with cultish thinking at every level.
I believe with all the Mormons in this government now, the muslims have a better chance than they ever had, through their brotherhood thinking being much the same as the LDS.
This is not just a thing of the past.
I have a very good friend who has been constantly sexually harassed by a co-worker LDS “Bishop”. In addition to his perverted actions, he has repeatedly told her he wants her as one of his “spiritual wives”. Several official complaints have been made. She has gone as far as meeting with him with her husband and his wife present to make sure he knows she is uninterested and happily married already. Sadly his wife fully supports him in his pursuit of her and others! Other women at work have also made several official complaints and there have been a couple of investigations. Each time, the man is given a slap on the wrist of a couple hours diversity training. He gets a pass because it is a “freedom of religion” issue and because otherwise he is generally pleasant and a good worker. Unforunately, she cannot quit her job at this time.
P.S I also know several fine LDS folks. I just think they are pretty decieved.
