The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is an offshoot from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The church claims that the revelation to the mainline church to stop practicing polygamy was false.
As the name implies they are far more radical than other Mormon churches. The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes everything in the book of mormon and are strongly opposed to homosexual rights, women's rights, freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Despite the strict rules and teachings the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints bares a striking resemblance to catholiscism.
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 known as Bountiful, British Columbia is still active.
