 The Three and the Eight: Credible Witnesses or Delusional Followers?
The three witnesses' testimony states that "we beheld and saw the plates, and the engravings thereon." The testimony of the eight witnesses goes even further, to claim that "as many of the leaves as the said Smith has translated we did handle with our hands." Mormons insist that since Mt.
Joseph silenced the seeress and two of the three witnesses immediately repented, but that they were so easily led astray certainly does not bolster their credibility.

 Facts on the Book of Mormon Witnesses - Part 1: credibility and relevancy of witnesses to the Book of Mormon
The Three Witnesses, Oliver Cowdery, Martin Harris and David Whitmer, all initially describe their experience with the angel and the plates as subjective and visionary rather than objective and concrete.
Adding additional witnesses would go against the earlier revelation that there would be three and only three witnesses and that Joseph should not show the gold plates to anyone else (DandC 5:3, 12-14).
It would appear from this account and Doctrine and Covenants 17, that the idea of three witnesses to the Book of Mormon is a new discovery made by Joseph and Oliver in June of 1829 while producing the Book of Mormon.

 The Seattle Times: Arts & Entertainment: Three witnesses hold key in case against Blake
The three witnesses portrayed Blake, 71, as a man who had reached his wit's end in 2001 as he tried to extricate himself from a relationship with a con artist and convicted felon who had given birth to his child.
The three witnesses say they thought Blake wanted to work with them on screenplays when he contacted them.

 SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Does the evidence of two or three witnesses suffice?
Wherefore, according to the Philosopher (De Coelo i, 1), "we reckon 'all' and 'whole' to consist of three parts." Now we have a triple voucher when two agree with the prosecutor: hence two witnesses are required; or for the sake of greater certitude three, which is the perfect number.
Therefore neither is the evidence of two or three witnesses sufficient for the condemnation of other persons.

Deuteronomy 19:15 mentions "at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses." Matthew 18:19-20 says, "If two of you shall agree." It goes on to say, "For where two or three are gathered together in My name." You see, the idea is more than one.

I want to put here the biography of those three remarkable people, they were normal people, like me and you, full of weakness, but still able to be willing to keep their testimony even in the face of death until the death came.

 Three Witnesses
The Three Witnesses of the Book of Mormon where the three privileged men out side of the Prophet Joseph Smith who where allowed to be special witnesses to the facts of the matter concerning the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.
The Three Witnesses not only saw the angel Moroni and handled the plates and would have heard whatever the angel said to them, but they heard the voice of the Lord commanding them to bear record to their experience.
The point is, these three witnesses where exposed to much more understanding and knowledge of the matters concerning the Book of Mormon and its coming forth than what is summarized in their single paragraph witness statement contained in the Book of Mormon.

 The Two Witnesses
This period of three and a half years of famine corresponds to the symbolic 42 months, and the 1260 days mentioned in the prophecy of the two witnesses.
This is identified with three and a half years, and it is expressed in various ways, and can be understood by referring to the prophecy of the 70 weeks of the 9th chapter.
The two witnesses are identified as two olive trees, and two candlesticks, which is similar to the vision described in Zechariah 4.

The testimonies of the Three and Eight Witnesses balance the supernatural and the natural, the one stressing the angel and heavenly voice, the other the existence of a tangible record on gold plates.
Of the perhaps 200 recorded interviews with the Three Witnesses, a significant percentage stress the spiritual intensity of the witnesses as they described the angel and the plates.

 Two or Three witnesses
Jn.5:31-32 Jesus says, "if I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true, there is another ( allos) who bears witness of me, and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true." Thus he refers to John the baptizer as a witness to the truth as the next passage explains.
These and the other passages concerning witnesses would make absolutely no sense if the Father is actually Jesus, making them both one person, then there is only one witness.
Bernard claims of Jn.8:13 that there were two witnesses to his being the Son of God.

Kos said the court could not do anything to make two witnesses from Yugoslavia, Eduard Sajer and Jovan Stjepanovic, and a witness from Israel, Ervin Rosenberg, testify in the trial, because they obviously did not want to answer to the court summons.

Wherefore, the Lord God will proceed to bring forth the words of the book; and in the mouth of as many witnesses as seemeth him good will he establish his word; and wo be unto him that rejecteth the word of God!
And there is none other which shall view it, save it be a few according to the will of God, to bear testimony of his word unto the children of men; for the Lord God hath said that the words of the faithful should speak as if it were from the dead.
But behold, it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall say unto him to whom he shall deliver the book: Take these words which are not sealed and deliver them to another, that he may show them unto the learned, saying: Read this, I pray thee.
