Vogel's new video on three witnesses
Since its publication in 1830, the Book of Mormon has been accompanied by the Testimony of Three Witnesses claiming to have seen the an angel with the plates and the Testimony of Eight Witnesses claiming that Joseph Smith showed them the plates, which they were allowed to handle. However, subsequent statements by members of both groups of witnesses indicate that the published Testimonies can be misleading and that using them to recreate the historical events behind them is a mistake. In fact, there is significant evidence that the experiences of the Three Witnesses was more subjective than their published Testimony implies and that the Eight Witnesses’ examination of the plates was not completely natural and physical.

Thanks, Dan.
That was very interesting. I learned a lot of new information. I plan on watching it again.

I like that you are redoing the Book of Mormon Witnesses videos. I'll put this on my playlist (and wait for the other one to come out).

Excellent job Dan. I saw several quotes I never heard before. I also liked seeing many photos of the 3 witnesses that I also never saw before. I thought Dan did a very god job of refutting many of the asseertions given in Richard Anderson's book on the witnesses.

I'm looking forward to Why Me's rebuttal......
