First of all, do have a link to this quote? Second, was David Whitmer ever present when this occurred? In other words, was he a direct witness to this or was this just hearsay? Third, you do realize that Whitmer became a disaffected member of the church & albeit never renounced his witness of the BOM, he became an avowed enemy of Joseph & the church.

I can post a number of writings by apostates that claim all kinds of falsehoods about the church that have been totally discredited. I can point to a number right here on this board. But, I’m willing to look. Show me the credible link, I would love to learn more.

Google is your friend. Look in your own church’s records. It’s right there, and, if you knew anything about your history, you would already know he was there, and also you would have already been aware of this happening. This is my point - most church folks have no idea what really happened, just the sweet little purified and white-washed images and stories that they have been fed.

As far as the argument I have heard ad infinitum about witnesses never recanting their testimony - have you ever considered that this is so because they do not wish to be notoriously remembered after their deaths that they were con men and cheap liars their whole lives?
