There is no such thing as an infallible prophet unless you want to include Jesus Christ.
The Prophets of the Lord are human and have the same trial as other children of God they have similar family issues and all the other probationary tempting as their sisters and brothers.
Just because there are no journals around does not mean they never had flaws or trials!
That's IT!!
I'm sending this to the BISHOP!!!
You are making us normal Mormons look bad!!

Temple Recommend Questions:
#4 Do you sustain the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the Prophet, Seer, and Revelator and as the only person on the earth who possesses and is authorized to exercise all priesthood keys? Do you sustain members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles as prophets, seers, and revelators? Do you sustain the other General Authorities and local authorities of the Church? |

Sorry, Resty but your leaders would disagree with you...
‘I never told you I was perfect; but there is no error in the revelations which I have taught. Must I, then, be thrown away as a thing of naught?’”- The Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 368
“I will make a statement here that has been brought against me as a crime, perhaps, or as a fault in my life. Not here, I do not allude to anything of the kind in this place, but in the councils of the nations that Brigham Young has said “when he sends forth his discourses to the world they may call them Scripture.” I say now, when they are copied and approved by me they are as good Scripture as is couched in this Bible, and if you want to read revelation read the sayings of him who knows the mind of God, without any special command to one man to go here, and to another to go yonder, or to do this or that, or to go and settle here or there.”
- Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 13, p. 261, October 6, 1870
“I have never preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call scripture.”
- Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, v. 13, p. 95
“Christ and his prophets go together... it is not possible to believe in one without believing in the other... by rejecting the prophets we reject Christ himself.”
- Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, cited in 1978 Devotional Speeches of the Year: BYU Devotional and Addresses, 1978, p. 118
“Second, in the midst of all these things, Joseph like his colleague prophets was so busy being a special witness for the Savior that he had little time to heed all of the false witness being borne about him. Joseph was usually more inclined to endure than explain himself, even though the drumbeat of dissent was at certain points almost unrelieved. In Nauvoo, in March 1842, for instance, while intensively engaged “day and evening” in translating the Book of Abraham, he said that he simply did not have time to attend to all his public duties. His duties as a seer were more important than his ceremonial chores.
Joseph did not respond at times, of course, such as by issuing a summational disclaimer as from the temple stand in Nauvoo, saying, “I never told you I was perfect; but there is no error in the revelations which I have taught.”
- Apostle Neal A. Maxwell, Meek and Lowly, pp. 105-106
“My boy, you always keep your eye on the President of the Church, and if he tells you to do something wrong, and you do it, the Lord will bless you for it.”
- Prophet Heber J. Grant, as quoted by Apostle Marion G. Romney in “The Covenant of the Priesthood,” Ensign, July 1972, p. 98
