But I thought LDS were nothing like the FLDS? So then wouldn't this be like comparing apples to oranges?
LDS have moved into the new period where polygamy is not practiced and people do not marry when they are young. LDS do not culturally live as people lived in periods past. These things are not accepted in the mainstream LDS culture. Therefore it would be understood that the majority of LDS girls would not participate in such activities.
The FLDS culture, however, carries the heritage of their past with them. They have oriented their lives to a time period when this was accepted. So it would be accepted that youth would want to carry forth the traditions.
Accepted - not accepted
apples- oranges
