IANMTU, the Mormons have been caught red handed retconning prophecies to make them true.
They forget publishing original versions of prophecies in official church publications (which people have an unfortunate tendency to keep) and then when the prophecy misses the mark, they update it to fit and issue the revised version, without, of course, noting they are fudging the rules on prophesizing.
There are no rules. You can just make a prophesy after the event takes place and it still counts!!
