We need the prophets and apostles so desperately. I don’t think we treasure them enough.


I think they are treasured far more than they deserve.


I think they don't treasure us enough.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

What's funny is that I basically said the same thing a while back: if your personal revelation conflicts with what the church/brethren teach, you're supposed to defer to the leadership/church. I was roundly denounced on the other board for suggesting that such a conflict could happen or that it should be resolved that way.

I feel pretty freaking vindicated.

RUNTU,

You have something very valuable that they lack over there. COMMON SENSE.
Riding on a speeding train; trapped inside a revolving door;
Lost in the riddle of a quatrain; Stuck in an elevator between floors.
One focal point in a random world can change your direction:
One step where events converge may alter your perception.
