(rolling eyes)I know you and I like you but we disagree. Shrug. Why the surprise?. It’s not like we haven’t been debating this for years now. LOL. All I care about is that people know Jesus. Peace Rest.

The only difference I see between FLDS and LDS is that the FLDS actually practice what Joseph Smith himself practiced (polygamy).

The LDS church that you belonged to practiced the same thing until the 1890 "Great Accommodation."

In fact, the FLDS church correctly states they practice what your founder Joseph Smith practiced and therefore refer to themselves "Original Mormons" - which is completely accurate in that they follow the original practice of your prophet.

Nothing I have said above is in dispute.

And, there are a lot of them.

There is an estimated 6,000 to 11,000 thousand members of the FLDS in the U.S. The group also has a single colony of about 1,000 members in Canada. Together, they form a significant percentage of the estimated 30,000 Mormon polygynists in Utah, and the estimated 60,000 in the U.S.
