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
