FAIRMORMON'S RESPONSE AND SUPPORTING DATA
On their old website, MormonThink claims...
No prophet since Joseph Smith has really prophesied, acted as a seer or provided any real revelation except undoing what Joseph Smith had done such as ending polygamy or allowing black men to have the priesthood. If we as Latter-day Saints believe that Joseph Smith restored the gospel and was indeed the first prophet of the restoration, then why hasn't any prophet since then exhibited the same prophetic gifts that Joseph appeared to have?
