I'm in the same predicament. How do I know what a Prophet says is true given there's been so much they have taught that is now considered rubbish or has been retracted.
I basically pick the things I feel ok about and follow them. The things I feel not ok about, I don't.
Are we not blessed with the spirit of discernment?
As for Joseph Smith...the fact that he lied about much of his polygamy life says to me he was still an imperfect man and this had a lot to do with it.
