Sorry I thought you asked who was following what Joseph Smith taught. The answer is the FLDS, they believe they are the only true Mormons.
If you look at JS teaching for the year days and what LDS practice now, there is very little similarity.

Then why do you bash them? If it is true that they are nothing like smith and they largely are apathetic about smith’s historical teachings, then it appears to me it would be pointless to argue religion with the average mormon. And something a previous poster here posted makes sense to me...”it’s not relevant to my salvation” was the typical mormon response. I tend to agree with that. If the only people that ever got to heaven were the ones that read the entire bible and understood every word...boy would heaven be a sparsely populated place.
