I found this interesting as well.

What lesson about following the Spirit did President Boyd K. Packer learn from his experience as a mission president?

The Spirit withdraws from us if we fail to follow its promptings

Since even on FR the lds tell us that they apparently are terrified that the "spirit" will leave them, I can see why they cling so desperately to following directions and orders of the leaders who know best.

Yes, Mormons more than most know how to redefine and screw up the definition of the "Temple of the Holy Ghost" ... seemingly placing His presence as ever-so-tentative.

While that was true in Old Testaments, the New Testament doesn't indicate that.
