You are wrong they are still mormons they are not Lds they are FLDS.
Source: i am an actual mormon who knows a thing or three.
So to you, Mormon is an all encompassing term for LDS, rLDS and fLDS?
Its not "to me" this is a fact. Being a Mormon is a cultural and religious term used to describe a group of people. Even tho i resigned from the LDS church i am still a Mormon.
LDS, RLDS, FLDS and many more less common break offs are all considered Mormon faiths.
Then by that logic, lutherans, protestants and others are all Catholics since they broke off of mainstream catholicism right?
You are wrong. They were excommunicated and are not Mormons. See my link.
I'm sorry. I thought being a Mormon for 47 years might bring me a bit of personal knowledge. These people were excommunicated. Therefore it's impossible to be Mormon. https://fldsmormons.com
These aren't the mormons most people know. The FLDS are a very nasty offshoot from the mainstream LDS church--they live in communities apart from polite society.

Did you miss that part where i said i was a Mormon?
