Growing up in Utah, I have experienced the mormon "cult" firsthand.
While I do not know the particulars of its history, I do know the
grasp they sometimes have on new members. New members are coveted
and cherished. Attention is always paid to those who have just
recieved the word of god. The conversion process is something that
is hard to explain because there alot of different ways they go about
it. But in my experience, polygamists don't necessarily try to
convert new members but seek out those who are products of this
mormon "splinter group". There is no recruiting but instead seeking
out those who have already found the way. But I am speaking from
todays standpoint, not what B Young could of done a hundred years
ago. I guess this rambling didn't help musch after all...matt
