This is not actually the Mormon church it's the flds which is a fundamentalist offshoot of mormonism and like. A known cult. The lds church is not affiliated with the flds, the flds does not respect the lds church or its leadership. The lds church does not allow polygamy (anymore).

I'm not saying the lds church is good and cool but I am saying that you shouldn't act like this random cult is the same thing as them. That's like assuming all catholics are tradcaths or all protestant Christians are branch davidians. They just aren't the same thing. There's plenty of things to criticize the lds church for that don't give legitimacy to an abusive cult

Huh

I have read a lot of them #I am NOT defending the Mormon church here please do not think that #I just don't want to give legitimacy to this group that by all accounts #Practices like. Child marriages and shit.#They had a 'temple' in Texas in the 2000s and the leader got in a lot of trouble with the law #Uhhhh keep sweet I think is the name of the Netflix documentary on the topic #If you want to watch that #I don't usually comment on posts but this is something I actually do know about #Also the text says fundamentalist lds but I understand most people don't know that's a specific group not a broad category #There are. Other Mormon groups that practice polygamy also like the sister wives shows and shit #The church also frowns on that as far as I know.#Yeah. Anyway.
