We don't need no "steekin'" prophet since we have the Holy Spirit we all have access to the one and only Prophet.

Amos 3: 7 7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Only in Mormonism is there a Prophet at the head, a single prophet over all mankind.

That is a bit of a stretch from what DU said. The prophets she mentioned were at the head of their dispensation. They were not the only prophets of their dispensation. Likewise, there is a prophet of God on earth today. Joseph Smith, however, is at the head of the dispensation. Also, the head of the dispensation does not mean what you twisted it to, ie: the Head of the Church or the Head of our faith. The prophet today presides at the head of the church, same as Peter was ordained to do in his day. That does not make him the Head of the Church,nor do we subscribe to that. The prophets themselves testify to the fact that Jesus Christ is at the head of His church.

Nope they were NOT the only prophets of their dispensations if you read the timeline you will find that some of those prophets lived concurrently.

So your prophet knows when it's going to snow in Provo? (God doesn't let it snow w/out telling the LDS prophet?)

name of church

I belong to the Church of the Faith Once Delivered to the Saints (Jude 3). Emphasis on the word "once" (no need for a second delivery!)

Otherwise known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Former-Day Saints! (a church which Jesus says the gates of hell would never prevail against, a prophecy in which JoeSmith accuses Jesus of being a liar). [JS even boasted he was the only man who ever kept a church together & that even Jesus Christ didn't do it]
