Was the Joseph Smith Translation an embarrassment to Church leaders?

Summary: It is claimed by some that the Church is "embarrassed" by the Joseph Smith Translation.

Relationship of the Joseph Smith Translation to the Book of Mormon

Summary: Some passages from the Bible (parts of Isaiah, for example) were included in the Book of Mormon text. However, the same passages were later revised for the Joseph Smith Translation of the Holy Bible. In some cases these passages are not rendered identically. It is claimed that if the JST was an accurate translation, it would match the supposedly more 'pure' Isaiah text possessed by the Nephites.

Why isn't plurality of gods mentioned in the Joseph Smith Translation
