The only obvious difference to many of us was that they spent nearly all day on Sunday in church and at home with their family. I think it's wrong for people to say that the Mormon church should be held responsible for a cult that broke off of it a century ago. There are few denominations that can probably say that they never inspired a cult; I'm going to guess that most cult founders grew up in a church or religious order of some kind...does that mean that their inherited denomination is responsible for the cult's beliefs and actions?

Oh I agree with you, the only place where I'd put some of the blame on the LDS is within Utah.
