When our leaders speak, the thinking has been done. Satan gets a great victory when we disagree or � ���"do our own thinking.� �� �

The Church Prophet has the right to identify how the Lord would have us vote and who would dare disobey?

Now, does the office of the President of the Church embrace the right to identify for the whole membership of the church, and all the peoples of the world for that matter how the Lord would desire that we vote on certain matters? Certainly it does! Who would dare to proscribe God?

When the prophet speaks, the debate is over.

All LDS administration is done by direct Revelation from God.

When the Mormon leaders speak, we are to obey and believe, even if our scientific knowledge says otherwise.

God can (and often does) change his mind from revelation to revelation.

That is modern revelation. May I repeat? Modern revelation is what President Joseph Smith said, unless [then] President Spencer W. Kimball says differently.

If you are told by your leader to do a thing, DO IT! None of your business if it is right or wrong.

LDS Prophet (from 1985 to 1994), Ezra T. Benson proclaimed:

a. The Prophet rightly should be in politics - after all, we do need God in Government.

b. The Prophet is above all humanity, above all scripture, above all the other prophets, above scientific knowledge and Must Be Obeyed.

Sometimes, in American politics, we are asked to focus more on the platform than the candidate, because we can trust the party and the candidate's advisors to keep the candidate on the � ���"straight and narrow� �� � as best they can.

In Mitt Romney's case, his oath of office has already been sworn in a sacred LDS Temple ceremony. That oath is to the Mormon Plan for America, and it will supersede any oath of office as President.

And it doesn't really matter in the LDS scheme of things if Mitt Romney does not make it to the Oval Office, or even the office of Vice President. This Mormon Plan for America has been in the shadows for over 160 years. The Brethren believe it is their birthright, their purpose, their destiny to usher in the purification of the earth for Christ's return.

They did not give up on the plan when Joseph Smith failed in his bid for the Presidency, nor did they give up when George Romney withdrew his bid. They will rejoice if Mitt makes it, but if not, they will merely look ahead to the one who will usher in the � ���"Kingdom of God� �� � in the soon coming future. Meanwhile, they will continue to prompt their people to file for every level of public office, to be ready when the wonderful fulfillment of prophecy comes.
