Episode 13 of Apostates explores the complex world of groups that trace their origins to Joseph Smith but diverged from the mainstream LDS Church. From the liberal Community of Christ to fundamentalist polygamous sects like the FLDS, we examine how different interpretations of prophecy, scripture, and apostasy created hundreds of distinct religious movements. We analyze succession disputes after Smith's death and how competing claims to divine authority led to dramatically different communities.
