Quote From: PennyLane78Once again, words have meanings...the word "Mormon" in generally known to describe LDS people, NOT FLDS people.
These two groups are not the same at all, they live completely different lifestyles and have completely different modes of worship. LDS people are not hidden away, they do not dress like pioneers, they do not marry at 13, they do not kick out young boys, they do not have multiple wives.
This makes as much sense as calling Lutherans, Baptists...
Reading the Bible doesn't make you a Christian anymore than reading Grey's Anatomy makes you a doctor, it's what you understand, believe, and what you center your beliefs around. The FLDS centers around Warren Jeffs and his commands and the LDS centers around Jesus and His commands. You might as well lump both of these groups along with the Baptists and the Lutherans, cause we're just ALL the same anyway...LOL!
You can't lump all Baptist together either, for that matter, there are Southern Baptists, Free Will Baptists, Primitive Baptists, etc. They're not all the same.
