Fundamentalist Church of the Latter-Day Saints. It's a polygamist group that broke away from the main body of the Mormon church. If you Google, I'm sure you will find many *ahem* interesting news stories...

Some families do use softer, more flowing fabrics, but most use the heavy poly. The money apparently is being pooled and doled out on a need basis. The FLDS community follows the United Effort Plan- all held in common by the church and given back out based on need. I am not sure how it is administered, but nobody owns anything. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
