When Moroni visited Joseph Smith in 1823 he told him that “God had a work for me to do; and that my name should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues, or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people.”
A true prophecy indeed.
and that my name should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues, or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people.”

Norm, Norm, Norm. That isn’t a prophecy, that is a ‘Captain Obvious’ statement.
I can ‘prophesy’ the same thing about me. Els can do the same, Sandra Tanner, Barack Obama, George Bush, EVERYONE can ‘prophecy’ the same thing.
Does that make them a prophet? Not at all. And it doesn’t make Smith one either.
BTW, if you want to be nit picky, he uses the term ‘all nations’. There are several nations in Africa and the Middle East you haven’t heard of Joe Smith. So even there it is a failed prophecy.
How many TRUE ones does it take to erase ONE false prophecy?
Why do Mormons always quote the one “DUH” prophecy Joseph Smith made when so many of them were false?
“Moroni” — don’t you think J Smith had a sense of humour when he thought up that name?
