If any of my new LDS friends would be so kind as to offer their thoughts I would appreciate the time.
My questions are: ( Please consider my " Catholic roots " when answering ) 
Does the LDS Church consider itself the only " restoration Church " ?
Does the LDS consider it to be a " protestent " Church ?
How does the Church determine when " prophits " are speaking as such or not ?
How does the Church replace it's prophit after the current prophit passes ? ( is there only one at any given time in it's history ?)
Do " members " consider any other possible account of " JS history " or is it faith ?
Do " members " consider the 40,000 plus other christian denominations " brethren " ?
Is the term " anti Mormon " applied to any who might find a different " truth " ?
I will stop there,
I hope my questions were not offensive
God bless,

Welcome to the forum:
I was wondering why you chose to spell "prophets" they way you did?
Just a comment, since most other questions have been answered by others. Also, the gospels are all different. Some accounts are described in Mathew and not so in Mark. Luke tends to be more explicit. But we hold ALL to be accurate and valid accounts.
If I was trying to understand the NT and the life of Jesus of Nazareth I would not go read "The Passover Conspiracy." So, in order to know Joseph one needs to read the accounts of those that knew him best.
