Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) is a religious group that split from the mainstream Mormon church, practicing a form of fundamentalist Mormonism. They believe in strict adherence to early Mormon teachings, including the practice of polygamy (having multiple wives), which the mainstream church has officially renounced. The FLDS community tends to live separately, often in remote locations, with a strong emphasis on religious authority and traditional doctrines. They view their practices as essential to their faith, and their lifestyle is characterized by conservative beliefs, patriarchal structure, and communal living.
