| − | ==Question: How do followers of MormonThink.com "spread the word" about the website?==
| |
| − | Ex-Mormons wishing to promote MormonThink.com find a variety of ways to do do. Some, such as posting a billboard in Salt Lake City, are honest efforts. Other tactics, however, are not.

| − | ==="Tagging" a seminary classroom: "the phrase 'www.mormonthink.com' had appeared on every one of the three chalkboard panels"===
| |
| − | The following was posted by an ex-Mormon on an ex-Mormon message board:
| |
| − | <blockquote>
| |
| − | My daughter and I recently took an evening walk. We live not far from an LDS church--the one we used to attend years ago. As we walked through its parking lot, two cars were pulling out. There were no other cars left.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We walked to the main doors to look inside. All the lights were on. My daughter pulled on one of the doors, and it opened! Apparently the people we'd just seen leaving had failed to secure the doors. So we went inside and walked around and reminisced.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We walked past the Seminary room. The Seminary teacher was obviously very dedicated because the room was all prepared for the next morning: instead of regular chairs, there were rows of long tables with chairs for each student, and stacks of books and project supplies at each place. Makes it harder for somebody to sleep through that, I'm sure.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The chalkboard, which had a third sliding panel, was filled with key points for the next day's lesson. We were so filled with admiration for this teacher's dedication that we decided they needed some support before we left the building.
| |
| − | | |
| − | So the next day, when they and their students walked in for Seminary, they all saw the miracle on the chalkboard. Somehow, during the night, after everyone had left the building and the doors were locked, the phrase "www.mormonthink.com" had appeared on every one of the three chalkboard panels. Obviously an angel had visited to give them a new resource for further light and knowledge. One hopes at least one student was alert enough to see and remember the URL and to check it out later.<ref>Posted by "jonathanfairborn" in thread "Divine Intervention in Seminary" on the ex-Mormon subreddit (21 Nov. 2014).</ref>
