I wish there was some other term to use besides polygamy. Polygamy isn’t legal so technically, what these people are practicing isn’t polygamy.

It sort of legitimizes adultery by sugar coating it and making it sound more acceptable.

Perhaps they could call them FLdS adulterists.

Good point. As as is true of the fLDS now--being such "adulterists"--'twas also true of the 19th century & early 20th-century LDS...they, too were "adulterists" because polygamy was also illegal in Canada, Mexico, Utah territory, & Utah state where they practiced it!!!
