The whole Mormon concept is set up that way. It is based on preposterous claims (without virtually any physical evidence) of God, angels, and magic books. Many apologists are enamoured with the witness statements, but those are not relevant to anyone. We don't know them and have no reason to believ...

Wouldn't that make things a lot easier? Why doesn't God actually do this?

We'll ignore your non sequitur for a moment... You didn't answer my question.

For yourself (a believer in the content), how valuable is your knowledge about the existence of the plates?

Your wife sounds the kind of person who might be perfectly happy to leave you without a home, children or most of your income if she can get away with it. What is more, the church will probably be on her side. Protect yourself now. After what your wife has done, that is hardly a hostile act - and s...

My dear Mad Viking (I love Vikings, by the way), I think your wife should have said, "I *feel* like you are betraying me." That seems more appropriate to me. It is also likely much closer to the truth. I understand this sentiment. God's speed my friend from the north. My heart goes out to...
