to discuss it? I am not being rude, but interested in your response. I was talking, at lunch, with a couple people about these prophecies and were curious to how you would respond.
Also, don't tell me to see www.lds.org I did and they do not respond.

Did you read my brief summary? Been there done that, got the t-shirt. They didn't answer me. The're no daisies, no daisies at all!
Edit 2- One false prophecy
All Nations would be involved in the American Civil War - "Verily, thus saith the Lord concerning the wars that will shortly come to pass, beginning at the rebellion of South Carolina, which will eventually terminate in the death and misery of many souls; 2 And the time will come that war will be poured out upon all nations, beginning at this place. 3 For behold, the Southern States shall be divided against the Northern States, and the Southern States will call on other nations, even the nation of Great Britain, as it is called, and they shall also call upon other nations, in order to defend themselves against other nations; and then war shall be poured out upon all nations," (Doctrine and Covenants 87:1-3).
This is clearly another false prophecy since all nations did not get involved in the American Civil War.
Edit 3- One more prophecy
Prophecy about Jesus return within 56 years - "President Smith then stated that the meeting had been called, because God had commanded it; and it was made known to him by vision and by the Holy Spirit. He then gave a relation of some of the circumstances attending us while journeying to Zion--our trials, sufferings; and said God had not designed all this for nothing, but He had it in remembrance yet; and it was the will of God that those who went to Zion, with a determination to lay down their lives, if necessary, should be ordained to the ministry, and go forth to prune the vineyard for the last time, or the coming of the Lord, which was nigh--even fifty-six years should wind up the scene." (History of the Church, Vol. 2:189)
Jesus did not return within fifty-six years when 1891 arrived.

Wow, I appreciate your response...finally I can discuss something.
I still don't see the link of the whole world being involved in the Civil War, although I would accept a few countries involvement as ample. All that may possibly be is Great Britian, although I have never heard of their involvment.
Are you sure GB was involved?
Edit- phrog
56 years is a possibility, but not going to happen for sure.
I can see that. Point taken.
What about the Temple in Missouri, that was to be built during his generation? According to according to the Bible, the Temple will be built in Jerusalem, Israel, Middle East. According to the D&C, it will be in Missouri.
Also, look at the time frame here. It talks about it happening within the lifetimes of that generation.
