Subgenius,
You seem to have lost your sense of humour and are now taking yourself far too seriously. Besides, you got caught out, not knowing what the Church teaches - exactly the same thing happened to you on the Rainbow thread; and on the gnat straining thread you were guilty of jumping in without realising you were clearly ramming both of your own feet down your own throat. You did apologise on that one though, to your credit. That makes you 0 for 3 - which would normally mean "strike! You're out!". But here we are much more tolerant of people playing catch up on Church matters, such as yourself.
So you get to keep batting - keep your eye on the ball this time...
1. Do you believe David Whitmer was accurate in his testimony concerning the Book of Mormon?

nice try.
my first reaction is to ask which testimony (do you mean the one in the Richmond, Missouri, Conservator on March 25, 1881?
or in the 1887 letter to Anthony Metcalf? where he writes "Of course we were in the spirit when we had the view, for no man can behold the face of an angel, except in a spiritual view, but we were in the body also, and everything was as natural to us, as it is at any time"
or some other testimony?, like the "3 witnesses")
but more importantly!
do you mean "accurate" as in
free from error or defect
or accurate as in
consistent with a standard, rule, or model
or accurate as in
precise; exact.

Gosh. I didn't think you'd be so defensive.
You clearly are familiar with David Whitmers statements. So, which ones don't you believe?

I mean all of his documented statements, but especially the one quoted in the Book of Mormon and the one quoted by Elder Nelson in 'a treasured testament'.
Accurate = he told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
