The media considers MormonThink.com to be an "anti-Mormon" site.

Detailed Analysis

  • John Bingham (The Telegraph): "[The Church's dismissal of the summons] was issued in response to a private prosecution attempt by Tom Phillips, a disaffected former Mormon who now runs MormonThink a website highly critical of the church.
  • John Johnson (Newser): "Phillips expounds on his views at anti-Mormon website called MormonThink."
  • Mary-Ann Russon (International Business Times): "[Phillips] is now the managing editor of MormonThink, an online publication that criticises [sic] LDS history and doctrine."
  • ICTMN Staff (Indian Country): "The complaint has been lodged by Tom Phillips, a former member of the Mormon church, who now runs MormonThink, a website that is critical of the church."
  • Associated Press (StarTribune): "Phillips is a former regional church leader in England who now runs a website that challenges church history and doctrine." (I especially like how this article begins right off the bat by identifying Phillips as "a disgruntled ex-Mormon.")
  • Leonardo Blair (Christian Post): "The summons stems from legal action initiated by Tom Phillips, an ex-Mormon who now runs MormonThink, a website which is very critical of the church."
  • Jessica Elgot (Huffington Post UK): "[Phillips] now runs a website called MormonThink, critiquing the church."
