Never thought of myself as a pin head before but as I started reading the article I truly thought it was some type of joke or parody on the church.
I couldn't get past Young's section and just skimmed through the rest. It made me sick to my stomach to see how the LDS can sugar coat their history when it is needed.
It amazes me that any part of the church history that is brought up that doesn't fit todays image of the church is called anti mormon. Most all that I have read on these Mitt threads that bring up valid questions on early teachings of the church are accused as anti mormon.
Is it considered anti mormon that the church at one time taught that the only way blacks (or any non white) would go to heaven would be as our servants??
I read alot of these threads that come out on the church and I am saddened how very little the LDS know their church history. Or the excuses they can come up with for the reasons some things were done as they were.
For the record I was raised Catholic, then spent 20 years of my adult life an active member of the LDS church and raised two of my children in the church.
I got tired of all the sugar coating going on trying to make LDS look the norm as far as Christian churches go. Trying to hide away uncomfortable speeches past 'phophets' made, and so forth. I now attend no church but have a very good relationship with my bible.

Pinhead? Hah, ‘m called mucvh worse than that. Want to join the flying Inmans? We’re assaulted for posting inconvenient truths about Mormonism. We even have a list of names we’ve been called! BTW, the popcorn machine is operational ...

I am also glad you have such a special relationship with your bible. It sounds like you really sacrifice for your faith and are in the service of others.
