The church claims that the revelation to the [[Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints|mainline church]] to stop practicing [[polygamy]] was false.

They still practice polygamy today, but are rarely prosecuted. A notable exception was the arrest of conviction of leader Warren Jeffs in 2007. They have moved away from the more [[conservative]] states like [[Utah]]. Some law enforcement wish to legitimize false "marriages" like [[gay marriage]], and so cover up or ignore the crimes of some members of the church.

They still practice polygamy today, but prosecution is very difficult because the wives won't testify. A notable exception was the arrest of conviction in 2007 of president Warren Jeffs (b. 1955), a former fugitive on the FBI's Most Wanted list.

 

They locate in remote small towns where they escape surveillance. They resemble groups of Mormons that left the U.S. for Canada and Mexico about 1900. (The Canadian colony is still active.)
