(FAIR note: we find this conclusion somewhat insulting to Native Americans)

In the episode, a faithful LDS family tells the story of the lost 116 pages to a neighbor boy they are trying to convert. They tell this story as proof that Joseph Smith was telling the truth and Mormonism is true. Perhaps the most telling comment we've ever heard about the lost 116 pages debacle comes from the neighborhood boy, who, after hearing the story of the lost 116 pages, exclaims "'Wait, Mormons actually know this story and they still believe Joseph Smith was a Prophet?'"

Un Análisis FairMormon del sitio web crítico PiensaMormón.com, la versión española del MormonThink.com


Fantaseo con una sesión en toda regla de fe destruyendo. En la vida real, me he puesto al obispo en su lugar sobre la poligamia. Siguió diciendo que yo estaba equivocado acerca de Joseph tener otras esposas y de ser ilegal y tal. He demostrado que estaba equivocado y él comía cuervo. twas divertido.
—MormonThink's primer jefe de redacción, envíos como "SpongeBob SquareGarments" en el hilo "Cualquiera fantasean con un arreglo de cuentas con SP o el obispo?" en La recuperación de mormonismo (un tablero de mensajes ex-Mormón), 21 Feb. 2012, 12:50PM.[1]
∗       ∗       ∗
Mi sueño y esperanza y aspiración: Los miembros de la 1stp y la Q12 se salieron de la [Iglesia Office Building] o sus casas con las manos esposadas a la evasión fiscal, el crimen organizado, el blanqueo de dinero ... Añadir las demandas por discriminación de género y de fraude que muchos se juntaban en las acusaciones penales, y creo 2013-14 sólo puede haber un momento bandera. Tal vez estoy soñando. Pero algunos de nosotros estamos trabajando en ello.
—MormonThink's segundo jefe de redacción, la publicación como "Jesús García" en La recuperación del mormonismo, 26 Diciembre 2012. [2]
∗       ∗       ∗
¿Sigo siendo un miembro activo de la iglesia mormona? Sí. Ya no creo que es la única y verdadera iglesia. Yo me quedo en todo para ayudar a otros sólo descubrir la verdad acerca de los mormones. Nosotros, en MT creo que cada miembro tiene el derecho de saber acerca de los verdaderos orígenes del mormonismo.
—Poster "mormonthink," 'Yo soy el webmaster de MormonThink.com AMA', posted on ex-Mormon subreddit, 28 Enero 2012. off-site (Inglés)
∗       ∗       ∗
Se trata de una solicitud en nombre del señor Monson .... para la retirada de las dos citaciones por fraude emitidas por este tribunal sobre la solicitud del Sr. Phillips ..... Sería relativamente fácil de establecer explícitamente que el Sr. Monson tiene hechas estas representaciones específicas, y cuándo y cómo se hicieron las tergiversaciones. Esto no se ha hecho ..... Es obvio que esta acusación propuesta ataca la doctrina y creencias de la Iglesia mormona .... Me siento satisfecho de que el proceso de la corte está siendo manipulado para proporcionar un foro de alto nivel para atacar las creencias religiosas de los demás. Es un abuso del proceso de la corte .... Por las razones expuestas anteriormente, estas citaciones se retiran.
Juez Howard Riddle, el juez de distrito senior (magistrado jefe) en la Corte del Magistrado de Westminster, Thomas Phillips vs Thomas Monson (20 de marzo de 2014) en respuesta a las citaciones facilitados por MormonThink Jefe de Redacción Tom Phillips. off-site (Inglés)

Plantilla:Designación respuesta

Visión de conjunto

El sitio web PiensaMormón.com está diseñado para llevar a los miembros de la Iglesia a cuestionar sus creencias de una manera no amenazante afirmando ser "objetivo" y " equilibrado". El sitio afirma ser dirigido por los miembros activos de la Iglesia . En realidad, sin embargo , ellos son " activos" sólo en el sentido de que algunos de ellos todavía en ocasiones asisten a la iglesia - que hacen no aceptar las pretensiones de verdad de la Iglesia, y no tienen ningún interés en el fortalecimiento de la creencia. En cambio, el sitio retrata líderes de la Iglesia como mentirosos , José Smith como un fraude y estafador , y la Iglesia como " una corporación de la construcción del imperio opresor. " El sitio incluye enlaces a FairMormon como una forma de demostrar su alegada " equilibrio".

Cada página en PiensaMormón.com típicamente incluye citas de fuentes de la Iglesia , grandes cantidades de texto de bloque copiados de sitios web críticos de la Iglesia, algunas referencias a LDS apolgetics que se siguen burlándose de refutaciones por la crítica, y y terminando resumen que generalmente coincide con la los críticos . La parte inferior de cada página contiene enlaces con sitios, los sitios críticos de los creyentes y de algunos sitios que consideren neutral.

PiensaMormón ha tenido una serie de jefes de redacción, todos los cuales conservan la pertenencia a la Iglesia durante su mandato, mientras que al mismo tiempo burlándose de las pretensiones de verdad de la Iglesia en línea foros de ex-mormones. La transferencia de la posición editorial parece estar provocada por la renuncia de la Iglesia del editor anterior. El editor fundador, quien permanece en el anonimato, renunció en 2012 para evitar la disciplina después de la Iglesia al parecer lo identificó. En su carta de despedida a su presidente de estaca (publicado en el sitio web PiensaMormón ), afirma,

Usted ha dicho que [PiensaMormón] es 'anti-Mormón, anti-Joseph Smith y anti-LDS Liderazgo'. Sin embargo, nunca dijiste que no era cierto.[3]

El editor en jefe más públicamente conocido fue David Twede. Poco después de hacerse con el emplazamiento, Twede fue abordado por los líderes locales de la Iglesia y la prevista para la disciplina. Después de crear un espectáculo mediático con respecto a su disciplina programada, Twede renunció públicamente durante una comparecencia en la sesión de micrófono abierto en el Ex-Mormón Conferencia de la Fundación 2012 en Salt Lake City. Después de mandar su carta de renuncia, Twede desafió públicamente a la Iglesia,

Si desea ayuda, por favor, por todos los medios, excomulgar al siguiente editor en MormonThink. Haga que los líderes del Comité de Miembros Fortalecimiento nos acechan. Aún mejor, enviar los hijos de Dan, por favor, por favor. Eso debería impulsarse MormonThink popularidad en órbita alrededor de Kólob. [4]

Editor en jefe actual de PiensaMormón indica a lo largo de 2013 en el ex-mormones tableros de mensajes de algo grande que el que estaba trabajando que sacudiría en serio la Iglesia en octubre de 2013:

Todo lo que puedo decir es que, si lo que yo estoy trabajando en realidad sucede, la consecuencia será que todo aquel que "elige" a creer será considerado un idiota lavado el cerebro. En cuanto a los apologistas, no hay manera de que será capaz de hacer girar este. Sus juegos estarán arriba. Juego final para los apologistas. Se llevará a la gran 15 para llegar a cualquier "rescate". El mormonismo se iniciará en el área de la Cienciología. Todavía tendrán adeptos, pero el resto del mundo ya no darles un pase como 'buena gente'. [5]

Directores de PiensaMormón consideran Iglesia trata de imponer disciplina a sus editores como una forma beneficiosa de aumentar el tráfico y la visibilidad de la página web, con lo que miembros de la Iglesia más consciente de su existencia.

El contenido específico de la página web PiensaMormón se aborda en los artículos que figuran a continuación

Mientras que algunos persiguen sinceramente la verdad y la comprensión real, otros tienen la intención de encontrar o crear dudas. Sus interpretaciones pueden provenir de la proyección de los conceptos y de la cultura del siglo XXI de espaldas sobre la gente del siglo XIX. Si hay diferentes interpretaciones posibles, se recogen los más negativos. A veces se acusa a la Iglesia de esconder algo, ya que sólo recientemente se han encontrado o escuchado acerca de él. Una acusación interesante para una Iglesia que ha de publicar 24 volúmenes de todo lo que puede encontrar los papeles de Joseph Smith. Pueden compartir sus suposiciones y especulaciones con cierta alegría, pero no pueden o no van a buscar más lejos para encontrar información contradictoria. Recuerda el verso del poeta Inglés Alexander Pope: "Un poco de aprendizaje es una cosa peligrosa. Bebe profundamente o no probar la primavera de Pieria. Allí, poco calado intoxican el cerebro, y beber en gran medida nos Sobers de nuevo. "

—Elder D. Todd Christofferson, "El profeta José Smith", Brigham Young University-Idaho Devotional, September 24, 2013.

The Book of Mormon

"Corriendo con Planchas de Oro"

Análisis FairMormon de la página PiensaMormón "Corriendo con Planchas de Oro"

Sumario: (http://www.piensamormon.com/corriendo-con-planchas-de-oro/) Este artículo MormonThink concluye que José no podría haber corrido con las planchas de oro, porque tenía una cojera de su operación de pierna como un niño, y que su historia de correr con las placas es un "cuento chino".
