It is possible that if you take a quote from scripture out of context in which is was meant by the author that you could prove that it should have happened by now and did not.

However given that pretty much no scripture is exact in what it says (Try Revelations if you want some examples), to take any prophetic scripture and claim that it is false because it hasn't happened yet seems rather foolish.

There are of course arguments that claim us crazy mormons rationalize away the things that didn't come true when some people might say they should have. I can see that that argument holding weight if you don't have any faith to support that rationalization.
