This just points to the English essays, and several Spanish newspapers have reported on that. El Mundo translated portions of the essay into Spanish itself. They've not been translated into Spanish yet, though, so at least that portion of the story is a fabrication.

Hey mak, that's one done!
And that's an atrocious and incoherent machine translation job. This is why we don't use machine translation.
Machine Translation is horrible. That's why the medical field can't use it. Could you imagine ordering some prescriptions and the translation machine gives the wrong meds and the wrong dosage amount?

I understand but it does confirm ( and fits in nicely with the time fame) the portion of the story talking about reading about the essay in the local paper. At least that part of the story could be true.
I am going to down grade from a 'bogus' status to 'suspect' .
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."

Amazing that this stake is so stocked up on uninformed Bishops.
I'm sure the Spanish translation of "Crucible of Doubt" will reach them in time.
But maybe not soon enough. This is an example of the effects of not inoculating the members before the contagion spreads. Problem is, in order for this to happen the inoculation materials have to be translated into the native languages of the folks ready for and/or needing inoculation to restrict the spread of the contagion.
It sounds like the type of "real life" story you find at RfM. Some of those guys should write for Penthouse ("I never thought this would happen to me"). The stories on the bio page ring true, but some of the stories on the main page about their run ins with TBMs are way over the top and difficult to believe. This is one of those.

It's not that. The write up says the essays were found, in Spanish, on LDS.org. If this isn't the case, and it doesn't seem like it is, this part of the story is suspect.
