Are there different types of polygamists?
There are generally three major polygamist ideologies. One is represented by the folks of Colorado City, which takes a very conservative approach, saying that the purpose of intimacy is for procreation only. Another ideology which teaches that intimacy is to be enjoyed, is more typical of the AUB, Apostolic United Brethren. The third iealogy teaches that men and women as individuals are capable of making their own decisions in regards to lifestyle and belief, and that neither the church nor the state should interfere in family matters. These folks are sometimes referred to as Independent Mormon Fundamentalists.
