• Criticism of Mormonism/Websites/MormonThink—The web site MormonThink.com claims to be operated by active members of the Church with an interest in objectively presenting the "truth" about Mormonism. In reality, only the webmaster retains his membership, and he admits that he does so in order to retain credibility so he can more easily influence other members to accept his claims. The remaining website contributors are ex-Mormons who frequently post on anti-Mormon message boards. The webmaster is, by his own admission, pretending to be semi-active in order to destroy members' and missionaries' testimonies from within the social structure of the Church. The site pretends to be "balanced" by presenting information and links to apologetic sites, however, the conclusions reached by the site consistently reflect negatively on the Church's truth claims. The site also recently contained a large amount of Temple content, which, according to the webmaster, was removed because it was discouraging the still-active spouses of those maintaining the website from reading the rest of its material.
