Descriptions:
In this episode, Dave talks about one of the “three witnesses” of the Book of Mormon, David Whitmer. Like the other witnesses, Whitmer claimed to have seen with his own eyes the ancient Book of Mormon record, which was presented to him by an angel of God. Dave gives a brief synopsis of Whitmer’s life and talks about how Whitmer stuck to his testimony throughout his entire life. He also discusses some of the ways critics attempt to impeach Whitmer’s character or cast doubt on the validity of his testimony (which is hard to do, because Whitmer was a pretty down-to-earth, stand-up kinda guy). Ultimately, everyone must decide whether Whitmer and the many other formal and informal witnesses were telling the truth, or not.
