"[The 1832 version of the First Vision]...in Joseph Smith's own hand...was personal [and] merely dealt with his sinfulness and his going to the grove to ask for forgiveness. End of story." -Says author Greg Prince, in the PBS documentary, "The Mormons." Is his statement true or false? Read the 1832 account of the First Vision and answer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Vision#Joseph_Smith.27s_1832_account

I just love how those against our church take these sorts of things, and put their own spin on it, then proceed to build their straw man arguments against their own version of what they think we believe or what they want to believe we believe.
It's like me saying "Methodists believe that John Wesley was the second coming of Christ", and giving some obscure and quite possibly false and misleading evidence, and then going on about how John Wesley couldn't POSSIBLY be the second coming of Christ, therefore the Methodists are WRONG, when I know darn good and well that Methodists do NOT believe that John Wesley was the second coming of Christ.

Dunno. I used to pray for this kind of stuff to happen to me and it never happened. Guess I wasn't as special as Mr. Smith.
