Pioneer Princess: He was NO PROPHET!
Why not? Because NONE of his prophecies fulfilled. Because he MAGIC Mormon used to translate the book. And the Bible warns us strongly against using magic. Google once the story of the Kinderhook plates. The Joseph Smith allegedly translated. He claimed they were from a descendant of Ham. It was just a little dizziness, some local farmers had devised. Here is a link to it:

And here several others:

Conclusion:
Smith wan't a Prophet of God, and he never was a honest man.
