Not so fast. You left off the last part of my statement. Here is the entire quote, including the part you omitted (in bold):
The prophet does not have the final word; God does. As a Latter-day Saint, I am not obligated to agree with or defend everything that the leaders of the church have ever said. I have the right and obligation to ask God to reveal the truth to me by the power of the Holy Ghost.
The bolded sentence is important. As Brigham Young is reported to have said,
What a pity it would be if we were led by one man to utter destruction! Are you afraid of this? I am more afraid that this people have so much confidence in their leaders that they will not inquire for themselves of God whether they are led by Him. I am fearful they settle down in a state of blind self-security, trusting their eternal destiny in the hands of their leaders with a reckless confidence that in itself would thwart the purposes of God in their salvation, and weaken that influence they could give to their leaders, did they know for themselves, by the revelations of Jesus, that they are led in the right way. Let every man and woman know, by the whispering of the Spirit of God to themselves, whether their leaders are walking in the path the Lord dictates, or not. This has been my exhortation continually. (JD, 9:150)
Let's consider one of the statements in your rather long cut-and-paste posting in light of Brigham Young's statement. Wilford Woodruff said,
The Lord will never permit me or any other man who stands as President of this Church to lead you astray. It is not in the programme. It is not in the mind of God. If I were to attempt that, the Lord would remove me out of my place, and so He will any other man who attempts to lead the children of men astray from the oracles of God and from their duty. (Sixty-first Semiannual General Conference of the Church, Monday, October 6, 1890, Salt Lake City, Utah. Reported in Deseret Evening News, October 11, 1890, p. 2.)
If we seek and receive the Spirit of God we cannot be led astray by anyone. And any man who deliberately tries to lead us astray will be removed from his place.
I can’t imagine why Reaganaut would leave out that very important info, can you? And they claim it never happens! LOL
