Anne Wilde

Anne Wilde knows modern day Mormon polygamy better than almost anyone. She was the second polygamist wife of Ogden Kraut, helping him write 65 books on LDS doctrine, and is the co-founder of Principle Voices, a group founded to support polygamy in the United States. Anne knows Mormon polygamy groups like the Apostolic United Brethren, FLDS, Centennial Park, the Kingston and Harmstone groups, and even had a close encounter with Ervil LeBaron, a polygamist responsible for the death of at least 20 people. Anne gives a glimpse into these groups, and details her own marriage. She talks about the theological basis for polygamy, and even believes Jesus was a polygamist.
