Since this thread is/was about something very nebulous, I'll go with this.

Let's look at a specific prophecy then. It doesn't have to be an exclusively Mormon one, or even a Biblical one. There are other famous "seers" such as Nostradamus. I've heard a lot about Nostradamus, but it's very easy after the fact to look at someone's words and shoehorn them into what actually happened, saying that those words predicted that specific event.

Would someone like to quote some words from a prophecy and explain what you think they are referring to?
