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
