One prophecy was that there would be a second coming in 56 years. It didn't happen, how do you explain that?
It's pretty straightforward. It was never really answered though. All we get is "if it didn't come directly from the church website..."which is not really an answer at all. First of all, I don't expect that the church would list false prophecies on their website. Why would they? Just because they don't have it up there doesn't mean it didn't happen though.
Maybe a better way to put the question to an expert (a Mormon) would be "did Joseph Smith say their would be a second coming that didn't happen"? It's really a "yes or no" kind of a question.
"I don't know" is also a possible answer, I guess.
"If it's not listed on the official LDS website, then no" isn't really an answer.

Actually, Rathji said he wasn't familiar with that being in the Doctrine and Convenants...which is an answer IMO.
