Referring to FLDS as Mormon or LDS is not so different from calling a Protestant a Catholic because originally they branched off from the same religion. When a group breaks off and forms their own church, with their own "rules" and they are no longer acknowledged by the original source, they are no longer part of the parent church.
This is where I share RANDOM rants and ruminations, beliefs, lists, dreams, goals, frustrations, bargains, and social injustices (EVAGATION, n. the act of wandering; excursion; a roving or rambling). More about me than you wanted to know. You may not agree with me but I hope you share my belief that what makes America great is freedom to have and express differing views. Enjoy peeking into my public journal if you want to know that part of me I share here. Enjoy!
If I ever get some time to sit down and really blog again, I'm going to go more in-depth with this. Since I've been living out-of-state, it's been extremely frustrating for me to be tagged as "Mormon" and associated with the Polygamist nonsense on the news. It's important to me to spread the word about the confusion...
