Doesn't seem to be the case.

Are you in complete denial that young girls were not led into polygamy in the FLDS church after praying about it?

Critics of the church can substantiate their claims with scientific and historical data. We're in a unique position in this debate. :)

Cool. Some might be led to the real Mormon Church.



Dear Bcspace,

Are those in the FLDS Church and in the RLDS/Community of Christ Church heading towards the Telestial Kingdom if the don't join the "real" Mormon Church?

Which is the "Real Mormon Church", and how does one identify it?
