  • Fundamentalist Attitudes Toward the Church: the Sermons of Leroy S- Johnson
    Fundamentalist Attitudes toward the Church: The Sermons of Leroy S- Johnson Ken Driggs AT THE AGE OF NINETY-EIGHT, Leroy Sunderland Johnson died in Hildale, Utah, on 25 November 1986. Johnson presided over one of the oldest and largest fundamentalist Mormon groups, organizers of the United Effort Trust in Colorado City, Arizona, formerly known as Short Creek. Accepted as a prophet by his group of fundamentalist Mormons, Johnson's thirty-two years as senior member of the Council of the Priesthood was a time of stability, growth, financial success, and greater public acceptance. An obituary in the January 1987 Sunstone magazine called him "a dominant figure in post-manifesto polygamy for over half a century." A number of fundamentalist groups have broken with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints over plural marriage and related issues. While the various groups most often sympathize with each other, their philosophies and leaders differ distinctly. Johnson's group has never adopted a name, identifying themselves as the fundamentalist arm of the Church. They emphatically reject the violence that has some- times brought other groups into the public eye and shaped impressions KEN DRIGGS has previously published in Dialogue, The Journal of Church and State, The Georgia Historical Quarterly, and Utah Historical Quarterly. He has recently fin' ished a Master of Laws Degree (LLM) at the University of Wisconsin. 40 DIALOGUE: A JOURNAL OF MORMON THOUGHT of Mormon fundamentalism. Like most fundamentalists, Johnson's group tends to be reclusive, adopting styles and customs distinctly out of fashion. They model their religious organization after the nineteenth- century united order.

Praised her husband Rulon for his faith and love of the work of the Lord in pulling himself out of a sickness nigh unto death. Miracles do exist in our day and age.2 ith the publication of Plural Wife, USU has expanded their perspective of what it W means to be a "frontier" woman, and with good reason. Mabel Finlayson Allred, one of several wives married to "Fundamentalist" Mormon leader Rulon Allred, experienced a life of challenges reminiscent to pioneer women of an earlier period, while living amongst Twentieth-century members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints [LDS]. Ostracized by the LDS leadership, and most members of the "Mother Church" based in Salt Lake City, Utah, she and her fellow sister wives struggled to find peace and happiness adhering to what they believed was the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, restored by Joseph Smith.

  • Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Profile
    Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) By James K. Walker Founder: John Y. Barlow and Joseph White Musser Place: Short Creek, Arizona (now renamed Colorado City) and Hildale, Utah Date: 1935 Publications: Truth magazine (1924-1956), and transcribed sermons of Rulon Jeffs, Scriptures include the Bible and the Book of Mormon Unique Terms: United Effort Plan (all real estate owned by the church), The Law of Placing (all marriages are assigned by the Prophet), The Principle (the doctrine and practice of polygamy), Blood Atonement (for certain sins one’s own blood must be shed unto death for forgiveness), Bleeding the Beast (supporting polygamy by draining state resources through welfare, food stamps, and Medicaid) Poofer (a teenage girl who suddenly disappears from her home to become a polygamous wife), Lost Boys (young men ousted by elderly leaders allegedly to reduce competition for young wives). HISTORY The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) is one of over one hundred different churches and organizations that trace their beginnings to Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon, first published in 1830.1 By far the largest of these organizations is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), commonly called the Mormon Church. The FLDS is one of numerous splinter groups that broke away over the controversial doctrine of “plural wives” or polygamy. In the early years of his movement, the Prophet Joseph Smith introduced the controversial practice of Mormon men receiving multiple wives.2 The practice was later adopted as a doctrine of the Church.

    GORSUCH AND THE WEST | SPLITTING THE 9TH CIRCUIT | THE BEAUTY OF DARKNESS High Country ForN people whoews care about the West Change Comes to Short Creek The modern West encroaches on a fundamentalist Mormon empire By Sarah Scoles May 1, 2017 | $5 | Vol. 49 No. 7 | www.hcn.org 49 No. | $5 Vol. 2017 1, May CONTENTS Editor’s note Exploitation and the West High Country News is some- times called an “environmental” magazine, even by folks within our walls. As the editor, though, I humbly disagree. HCN is a magazine of the American West, helping the region tell its own story, of its people and places, through several important lenses. One of those lenses is the West’s fragile, beautiful environment. Another is closely related: its natural resources, from coal, oil and gas, to timber, ranching and recreation. But a third is through the region’s communities — communities shaped by history and heritage, for better or worse. In this issue, we explore one such community — the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints. The FLDS, dwindling in membership and with several of its leaders in jail or on the lam, consti- tutes a small corner of the modern West, but it rep- resents an important aspect of the past. The sect is famous for its polygamy, an aspect of Utah life that A girl — who sticks out her tongue when she spots a photographer — rides with others wearing traditional is so important that the Salt Lake Tribune has a re- FLDS prairie dresses in Hildale, Utah.

Ault Thesis Committee: Kevin Stein, PhD Chair Matthew Barton, PhD Shobha Gurung, PhD STRAIGHT IS THE GATE 2 The Thesis committee for Michael K. Ault Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Straight is the Gate: An Ethnographic Study of the Centennial Park Polygamist Community APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Kevin Stein, PhD Committee Chair Date Matthew Barton, PhD Committee Member Date Shobha Gurung, PhD Committee Member Date STRAIGHT IS THE GATE 3 Abstract The community of Centennial Park, Arizona was a small and quiet neighborhood that had one significant differentiating characteristic from other small, rural towns in Arizona; the members of the community openly believed in and lived the principle of polygamy. This study examined the cultural conversion of the community from a position of assertive separation to one of assertive accommodation. To do this, I used co-cultural theory and cultural discourse analysis as a framework. Co-cultural theory has been used to explore the cultural positioning of many different minority groups such as: women, African Americans, homosexuals, and the disabled. This study explored reasons why this population chose to practice assertive separation, what caused it to seek a greater voice in society, and how its new cultural position affected the lives of its citizens. Studying the community of Centennial Park provides a unique glimpse into a culture previously unstudied.
