Part 1 of 2 - In the 1890s the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, often referred to as The Mormons, experienced a sharp division. Wilford Woodruff, the prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, declared the the church would no longer support the practice of polygamy. In this episode we covered the history of Mormonism, describe the fallout from this decision over polygamy, and discuss a little bit about life for the FLDS members before Warren Jeffs became the prophet.
