There are a lot of posts out there about the FLDS faith and what happened to them. I don't know if any of you have actually read those posts or not. If, for any reason, any of you are curious or wondering.....let me guide you to a couple of GOOD ones. :0)
This one explains our frustration as women of the LDS faith {notice that LDS is different from FLDS} For those of you unaware of what LDS means, it stand for Latter Day Saint. FLDS means Fundamentalist Latter Day Saint. They left our church in the 1930s because we refused to allow the practice of polygamy. {Source: Wikipedia} "The FLDS Church and the LDS Church are distinct and separate religious denominations, having no official ties or connections."
This one is my favorite so far. We, as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, are not freaks. {Much to the surprise of many :0) } AND, we do not practice the same faith as those portrayed in the news.
Now, on a different note here...I do want to say that my heart goes out to all the innocent involved. I can only imagine the fear that the children are feeling as they have been taken away from the only lives they have ever known. My heart hurts for these children. They are the innocent in all of this.
Anyway...just thought I would share these blog posts with you. I usually don't get too religious or political in my blog. But, this was something I felt should be passed on. Too many people have too many questions about a connection that does not exist between the FLDS and LDS faiths.
Have a happy Sunday!
