I am an adolescent LDS guy, and some of the wording of this article offends me personally. I think that it needs to be made much clearer that this is the FLDS church, as the original LDS church has abandoned polygamy well over a century ago and is often persecuted based on strange lies inspired by these kinds of mistakes. Please 1: change the title to remove the offensive generalization between the two entirely unrelated churches, and 2: correct the wording to specify. I would make these changes myself, but I am relatively unskilled with editing Wikipedia any more than such as this. Thank you 75.15.132.119 ( talk) 05:39, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
I read the Mormonism and polygamy page looking for a reference to the lost boys, but there was not one. This page is so short, perhaps it's content should just be made a paragraph on the other page. Or at least that page should link to this one. I realize that the practice is now mainly confined to fundamentalist splinter groups, but their history is common so the topics are related. 72.182.15.37 ( talk) 04:41, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
The opening says that "lost boys" is a term "used" for these excommunicated young men. Used by whom? Is the term used by the exiles themselves, or the communities that exile them, or outside observers, or all three? SpectrumDT ( talk) 11:08, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
