Every article I've seen has made it clear that the Smarts were members of the Salt Lake City based Church, were respected in the community, etc. Several articles have even named the ward they attend. The polygamist sects are puny little groups run by self-appointed prophets, whose members aren't respected by anyone but themselves, and none of them are living in million dollar homes in Salt Lake CIty. They live largely on welfare, in shabby conditions, and in remote areas. When someone is referred to as "a Mormon", it's safe to assume that what's meant is the main Salt Lake City based Church, unless some splinter group is specified. Just the way that if someone is referred to as "a Catholic", it's safe to assume that they are members of the Vatican based Roman Catholic Church, even though various little splinter groups calling themselves "Catholic" do exist.

People would be amazed if they did a search on what the church of Morman is...what they practice.

Most people think they are christians. Most people think they are the Morman Tabernacle Choir. Not so. It is alot more than that.There is alot of secrecy there. People just don't know it.
