What is the difference between flds and lds?
The FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) split from the LDS (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) when the LDS church banned the practice of polygamy over 100 years ago. There are many huge difference between the two religions today.The FLDS has several thousand members, mostly all in the western United States and Canada. The LDS has over 14 million members all over the world. The FLDS generally live in isolated communities made up almost entirely of other members. The LDS live and participate in regular society. The FLDS tend to be quite secretive and insular, the LDS are not. The FLDS has it's own set of church leaders and does not recognize the LDS leaders as legitimate. The LDS do not recognize the FLDS leaders as legitimate. The FLDS have a very distinctive style of dress, while the LDS look and dress like most everyone else in mainstream society. The most important difference is that the FLDS believe that various changes made in practices among the LDS were not sanctioned by God and therefore they try to live the fundamental or original beliefs of Mormonism, including that of polygamous marriages. The FLDS have also developed many doctrinal beliefs and practices which were never taught among the LDS.

How do you do a flds braid?
The braided hairstyles that are popular in the FLDS community tend to have a poof or wave of some sort on the top of the head, and a long often elaborate braid behind, sometimes into an updo and sometimes left long. First, comb your hair straight back and then push forward to form a bump, pin in it place and secure with hairspray, gel, or mousse. Then braid the rest of the hair, the longer the better, as most FLDS women never cut their hair. Some FLDS women used to sell a DVD with tutorials about how they achieve these hairstyles, but it is no longer available online. Check out the photos and videos at the "Related Links" below to get some ideas of how you might be able to imitate the FLDS hair styles.

What do fundamentalist members of the LDS church believe?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the LDS or "Mormon" church) does not really have 'fundamentalist' members. Of course some are more devout in their religious practice than others, but all are expected to believe the published doctrines of the Church. (You can learn about these doctrines at the "Related Links" below.) You may be thinking of members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also called the FLDS church). This group broke off from the LDS or Mormon church over 100 years ago in a dispute over the practice of polygamy. The FLDS today differs quite a lot from the LDS church. The FLDS continue to practice polygamy, have very strict modest dressing standards, generally live in isolated communities, and are expected to have firm devotion to their prophet. In general, although both churches share the same scripture and early history, the FLDS is much more extreme in their doctrine and practice than the mostly mainstream LDS church.
What information is available about the Fundamentalist Latter-day Saint or FLDS?
The FLDS church operates several websites in an attempt to share their beliefs with others. There is is a wealth of information available from people familiar with the group as well, but you must be cautious as many have an anti-polygamist agenda and will give biased information. As with most things, it is best to learn about someone by learning from them, not from their enemies. The websites under "Related Links" are operated by the FLDS church. You could probably contact them if you have further questions.
What happens to the male children of the FLDS all we see on the news are the females Normally about half of children born are male. The adult male to female ratio seems to be about 10 to 1.?
First of all, the FLDS church is NOT part of the LDS church although the LDS church did practice polygamy for many decades in the late 1800s. Often, male children in the FLDS church are ostracized and treated as if they are outcasts. They are seen as competition for marrying the females in the group, which the older males want all to themselves. They are known as "the lost boys of the FLDS." The females are being shown in the news on TV presently because of an allegation of sexual abuse by a young FLDS girl. That's why you see the girls more right now, because they are being moved to a safe location and interviewed in an effort to locate the girl who made the call.
