Is Martin Harris still alive?
I would say he must be keeping the 3 Nephites company...
From the Ernest L. Wilkinson Diaries: "ELW dreams he's spattered w/ grease. Hundreds steal his greasy pants."
* Jordan Vajda a Catholic had published on the concept of Theosis, man becoming god. Some of his work was subsequently published by FARMS and from what I understand he left Catholicism and joined the LDS church.
*And there was the story of Sami Hanna, who worked on translating the Book of Mormon into Arabic and thereafter joined the church. This story is still passed around as a Faith-Promoting Rumor. However from what I understand Hanna left the church and no longer believes the Book of Mormon is authentic.

While on my mission we were contacted by a man who was schizophrenic (didn't know that at the time). He would ask us unwitting missionaries to answer tough questions. MMM, polygamy, press destruction, etc. Not general things but specific incidents of obvious fraudulent behavior by joe and his band of merry con men.
We baptised him, he was fellowshiped and a few months later I found out from a former companion that he had stalked one of the young teenage women in the ward and held her poor father at knifepoint while he told everyone he was sent to marry said girl.
My point is that in my evidence bat**** insane people join knowing that there are egregious errors with Mormonism.

The mantle truly exceeds the intellect.

There are many levels of belief and many types of believers to consider in answering this question. Many who are now antagonistic toward the Church, were originally of the totally committed level and were a naïve type of believer. Had they chosen to enter the Church later on after more clearly understanding the issues involved, their level of belief would not have been so absolute and their faith type would have been less naïve and more interpretive.

How do you create that groovy diaeresis in naïve?
Gasp! It's automatic. Praise Jebus!
