  My mother always taught us to follow the brethren. Look to the prophet for he will never lead you astray !

  "None are required to tamely and blindly submit to a man because he has a portion of the priesthood. We have heard men who hold the priesthood remark, that they would do anything they were told to do by those who presided over them, if they knew it was wrong; but such obedience as this is worse than folly to us; it is slavery in the extreme; and the man who would thus willingly degrade himself should not claim a rank among intelligent beings, until he turns from his folly. A man of God ... would despise the idea. Others, in the extreme ... have taught that such obedience was necessary, and that no matter what the saints were told to do by their presidents, they should do it without asking any questions. When Elders of Israel will so far indulge in these extreme notions of obedience as to teach them to the people, it is generally because they have it in their minds to do wrong themselves” Joseph Smith, Millennial Star, vol.14 #38, pp. 593-95

  I met President Foust back in the early 90s. &nbsp; I had a speaking assignment in front of 5,000 people. &nbsp;I asked for some advice. &nbsp; I was NOT PREPARED FOR!!!!!!!!!!<br>His council was simple. &nbsp;FIVE WORDS!!!!!!<br><br>“TELL THEM WHAT YOU KNOW”<br><br>I now love that council, and I obey😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

  Hearing Elder Faust does my heart good. One day in the not-so-distant future, I hope to thank him personally for his service.

  I really enjoyed listening to Elder Holland because he touched my heart with the Holy Spirit and he even showed how important it was to feel the Holy Spirit.

  I&apos;m surprised to see the controversy in the comments. Yes, they are men, but not &quot;just&quot; men, but ones called of God to be prophets and apostles. HIS mouthpiece. If I were to pray about something once said it would be to understand it better, not to discern whether he spoke the truth. That is a given.

  Richard Lyman was the last one in 1943 I think . He to repented and was rebaptised before he died . &nbsp;We are all human and subject to temptation . To many critics rejoice when someone falls short . They too need to have empathy and repent.

  “It makes no difference what is written or what anyone has said, if what has been said is in conflict with what the Lord has revealed, we can set it aside. My words, and the teachings of any other member of the Church, high or low, if they do not square with the revelations, we need not accept them. Let us have this matter clear. … If Joseph Fielding Smith writes something which is out of harmony with the revelations, then every member of the Church is duty bound to reject it.”<br><br>Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, 5 vols., 3:203-204.
