Is FLDS a separate branch from the LDS? Are they related sects or completely separate?

Some of the posters in the comments at the Salt Lake Trib are losing their minds over this.

One example of FLDerengement Syndrome.

Uhhh, a hair and a bed. I wonder if the night watchman got to lay down and take a rest. I wonder if there are cots and a hair at the Eldorado Baptist Church. By golly... that is where the kids slept when they were first kidnapped. Cots and a hair--lets seize all the baptist kids.

Why doesn't the sl tribune editorialize in favor of removing all catholic children from their homes based upon the horrendous amount of queering of children by the catholic priests. and don't tell me the mothers did not know what was going on. They just wanted their kids to kiss jesus...right??? Get it???

After all -- what the catholic priests have done sexually to the catholic children is a dark and ugly thing. In fact, their molestation is a black thing. Yes, that baby is black.

The monopoly media in the usa is a disgrace. amazing how the slc newspapers are able to conspire together to set plrices, fix distribution and stifle competition.

down with fake media scum like the sl tribune.

“Anonymous sources telling of sex with young girls, a call to the state from a 16 year old girl yet to be located.”


A lot of you Mitt Romney supporters seem very upset that this cult is being harassed, I guess that is just one of those odd coincidences in life maybe, but there may be a pattern, I’ll keep looking.

There are a LOT of unfamiliar screen names popping up and defending this cult. Some look like sleepers.

It appears the ox of SOMEONE IMPORTANT is being gored, is it not?

Man, the answer to that question has led to many a flame war.

Short answer is that the FLDS views itself as the “true” LDS church, primarily due to an FLDS view that the abandonment of polygamy directly violated the tenets of the church, and that Joseph Smith’s endorsement of polygamy was divinely inspired and intended to remain in perpetuity.

They are two churches with the FLDS formed by members of the LDS that either left the church or were excommunicated.

Usually a discussion of the history gets pretty ugly though.

They are not a seperate branch of the LDS. They have nothing whatsoever to do with the LDS church. They’re a bunch of perverts who pretend to be related, nothing more.

Nope. It goes:

More FLDerangement Syndrome at the Salt Lake Tribune: --

And if the next report is that these guys are beasts that have horns, you will probably believe that too. A hair on a bed... and that is supposed to prove what was happening? Give me a break!

“The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS Church) is one of the largest Mormon fundamentalist denominations[1][2] and one of America’s largest practitioners of plural marriage.[3] The FLDS Church emerged in the 1930s as an offshoot of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church); “

Why then would there be a bed in the temple? For napping?

The FLDS broke away from the Latter Day saints in 1890 and formed their own weird sect. The site below will answer many of your questions about Mormonism.

FLDS are not LDS!

These threads and the cults defenders give us a deeper look into the Latter Day Saints, most of the pro-cult names are Mormon and Romney supporters.

I would not have predicted that a news story like this would turn into the child molesting cult and it’s practices being defended, but as you have seen on other threads, that is the direction they go in.

If this thread goes long enough, the effort will be made to drag God into this on the cults side.

Oh please. There are dozens of pregnant 12 year old girls in & around San Angelo in safe houses that were removed from that hell hole.

When I hit the post button I suddenly had a feeling that would be the comeback line.
