Anti charge:\n\n...when questioned closely the witnesses said they never really saw the gold plates except when they were wrapped up or covered. They used terms like “vision” or “I saw them with the eye of faith.” ...Of these eleven total witnesses, over half apostatized from the Mormon church.... Joseph Smith and other Mormon officials are on record as calling his three main witnesses “thieves and liars.” In History of the Church Joseph Smith said, “Such characters as ... David Whitmer, Oliver Cowdery, and Martin Harris, are too mean to mention, and we would like to have forgotten them.” (McElveen, 48-49.)\n\nThe testimony of the Book of Mormon witnesses (Martin Harris, Oliver Cowdery, and David Whitmer) has been a thorn in the side of the critics for more than a century and a half (read this testimony). Many critics have tried to ignore their testimonies, while others have simply glossed over their significance. Those who have attempted to tackle the issue generally have relied on ad hominem arguments– attacking the credibility, honesty, or motives of the Three Witnesses.\n\nWhat possible motives might have driven the Three Witnesses to proclaim (and maintain) their testimonies? It is important to keep in mind that these three men never denied their testimonies. Throughout their entire lives they claimed that an angel of God had shown them the Book of Mormon plates. Trying times arose in each of their lives– persecution, loss of financial gains, etc. Each of these men separated themselves from the Mormon Church at some point in their lives for one reason or another. Some may think this shows that neither the Book of Mormon, nor the LDS Church are true. On the contrary, we point out the significance of the departure of the faith by these three men because despite their loss of membership, they continued to affirm their testimonies of the Book of Mormon. Both Martin Harris and Oliver Cowdery rejoined the Church at later dates, but although David Whitmer did not, he maintained to his death that his testimony was true. Think of the significance. Despite excommunicate, embarrassment, and ill-feelings, these men knew they had seen an angel; they knew they had heard a voice from heaven declaring the book’s authenticity; and they knew that the Book of Mormon was the word of God.\n\nSome may wonder why any of these witnesses could ever leave or be excommunicated from the Mormon Church. All men make mistakes, and these men were no different. The times in which these men lived were trying times, times when persecution against the Mormons was severe, to say the least. Did not Judas betray Christ? Judas, an Apostle chosen by the Lord himself? Are we to conclude therefore that Christianity is a fraud? Did not Peter deny Christ three times? Peter, who was the chief Apostle, and an Apostle who performed great works both during and after Christ’s ministry? Did not King David fall from favor in the eyes of God due to his sins?\n\nAs I see it, there are five possible motives for proclaiming their testimony, and possible motives for maintaining their testimonies.\n\nPossible Motives for Proclaiming Their Testimonies\n1) Wealth– If the Book of Mormon were to become a best seller, they might see lucrative returns by falsely testifying to have seen the angel and plates. Perhaps they even thought they would start an organization by which they could con thousands of people out of their money.\n\n2) Fame– The Three Witnesses might have hoped that people the world over would have been impressed by their false testimonies and might have shown them the adulation reserved for royalty.\n\n3) Power– Tied to both wealth and fame, the Three Witnesses might have falsely testified in hopes of gaining power of other people. Such power might secure them financially for the rest of their lives.\n\n4) Duped– They might have been duped by Joseph Smith or their own fantasies. Perhaps Joseph Smith was such a brilliant con artist that h

OK, I'll admit it, they're mine.  I lost them sometime after I got married and gave up trying to find them during the divorce.  How the hell they got all the way over there is beyond me.  I've obtained a new set since then so you can keep them if you want.

Why yes, we actually have, courtesy of my creep stepson ("I didn't steal it, honest!" yeah right. \nThey were very nice about it, they handed me the search warrant, explained and pointed to the appropriate signatures and started looking. They did not "toss" the house---I asked them and they said "that's only for people giving us a hard time!" and they honored my request NOT to search my bedroom (I wouldnt have been able to sleep in there again, and it was always secured against the punk anyway)...\nAnyway, don't be a jerk to them and they'll be nice. Maybe. \n\nPS, that was the last night my stepson spent in my home again.

Looking for "real people" eh! lol. I'd think that the best place to look is in a phone book or some police records or something like that.
