for 99.999% of the world's population, that is true for Joseph Smith too.

I don't think it's quite that high a percentage but the truth is this prophecy has not been totally fulfilled yet.

But you can just make it of yourself and if you can get some fame and do outragious things then it will aoutomatically be true.
Everyone should make that claim and then if it comes true they are prophets. Bill Gates should have said it just in case he became what he became.

I'm now going to say it:' My name should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues'
Now I have nothing to lose. If I am wrong no matter. if I am right then wheeeee --I am a prophet! (not)


If you lose your children and grandchildren will probably know about it.....and think you're a nutcase.

Lol. Now that's funny.

Yeah, I don't think it's quite that high either. Maybe 98.7%.

I don't think it has quite been fulfilled yet. 0.1% of the world think he is good, another .1% think he is evil, and 99.8% say "Who the hell is Joseph Smith?"

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was formally organized in a small log cabin in upstate New York in 1830.

It took 117 years — until 1947 — for the Church to grow from the initial six members to one million. Missionaries were a feature of the Church from its earliest days, fanning out to Native American lands, to Canada and, in 1837, beyond the North American continent to England. Not long after, missionaries were working on the European continent and as far away as India and the Pacific Islands.

The two-million-member mark was reached just 16 years later, in 1963, and the three-million mark in eight years more. This accelerating growth pattern has continued with about a million new members now being added every three years or less. Growth consists both of convert baptisms and natural growth through the birth of children.

Church membership today is approaching 13 million.

The church currently has over 50,000 missionaries serving in over 120 countries.

Joseph Smith's name is known on a global scale as both a bringer of the gospel of Jesus Christ, or a distorter of the same.

And yet it's still considered trival enough for a jeopardy question. Odd.
