I’m curious about FLDS beliefs on keeping the Sabbath day holy and how that it practiced?
I often see people that appear to be FLDS members at Target or the grocery store on Sunday. Do the beliefs about Sunday differ from mailnine LDS?
Thanks!!!

This was a very interesting interview. Other people, you have interviewed from Short Creek seemed to be less forthcoming and less willing to candidly answer questions. Terrill was direct, upbeat, positive, and quite informative. I have an interest in Short Creek because my mother’s father almost picked up stakes and moved there back in the late 30″s. My mother’s oldest brother of nine children told his Dad that he could go but the rest of the family was staying put.
thanks for your time and effort.
