Pergunta: Será que Samuel Smith, uma das Oito Testemunhas do Livro de Mórmon, que nunca negam ter visto as placas?

Samuel Smith "Ele sabia que seu irmão Joseph tinha as placas, pois o profeta havia lhe mostrado, e ele as havia tocado e visto as gravações nelas"

In the spring of 1832:

Elder [Samuel] Smith read the 29th chapter of Isaiah at the first meeting and delineated the circumstances of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, of which he said he was a witness. He knew his brother Joseph had the plates, for the prophet had shown them to him, and he had handled them and seen the engravings theron. His speech was more like a narrative than a sermon.[1]

Phineas Young (brother to Brigham Young) met Samuel on his first mission, and was given a Book of Mormon:

"Ah," said I, "You are one of the witnesses."

"Yes," said he, "I know the book to be a revelation from God, translated by the gift and power of the Holy Ghost, and that my brother Joseph Smith, Jr., is a Prophet, Seer and Revelator."[2]
