 This is a popular but unproven claim.  There was a split in the Mormon
 Church over some issues that resulted in the formation of the Reorganized
 Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Independence, Missouri.  Some
 of the "witnesses" went with the reorganized group, but I don't think there
 has been any evidence to show that they rejected the Book of Mormon.  The
 Book of Mormon is considered inspired scripture by the reorganized group. >>

I'm talking about the infamous "witnesses" whose names are recorded in the 
intro to the book of Mormon.  Some of them later admitted that they saw the 
plates "with the eyes of faith."  This is a deadly blow to Mormonism, since 
those three witnesses purported to see not only the Book of Mormon, but an 
angel who (sic) showed it to them
