To cut down on bandwith Blaine you can now refer to this list & simply reply with NUMBER "5"
Think how much simpler this is.
I think all the standard replies are covered here, so a simple "5", "3" or "7" should suffice.

There may be a list to cover answers to gentiles also, but I am not sure.
TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE HOW THIS WOULD WORK LET'S TRY IT WITH BLAINES LAST REPLY!
BLAINE: Kevin needs to "follow the prophet" himself.
This is covered by a 3 or 7
BLAINE Pray always that you enter not into temptation to resist these great men's teachings.
3 or 7 again
1. Some things haven�t been revealed yet and will be revealed to you later or in eternal life.
2. Lucifer wins a great victory when he can get members of the Church to speak against their leaders and do their own thinking.
3. You are not trying hard enough. Try harder and pray about it.
4. Or if a member of the Priesthood�s blessing does not cure a health problem: It is not the blessing that didn�t help you to overcome your sickness, it was your lack of faith. You need to have faith and pray about it.
5. Or if you don�t believe in the authenticity of the Book of Mormon, you don�t know enough about it to understand it. Here again, it�s not church leaders, God�s or Joseph Smith�s fault, it is your fault and you should feel guilty to question the word of God, Joseph Smith or church leaders.
6. If a person questions why they aren�t receiving the church�s promised blessings, You need to examine your life and see why you aren�t righteous enough to deserve these blessings.
7. If a member questions the church�s claim that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God, or a fraud, You need to kneel down and pray about it and God will tell you that Joseph Smith is a true prophet.
8. Or a member questions church doctrine or practices, Pray about it �And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.�
9. If you question the authorities of the church, �You must not speak out against the Lord�s anointed.�
10. Or if a member violates a church rule, �Satan has gotten ahold of you, ask a member of the priesthood to remove Satan from your body.�
11. If you have written something critical of the church, �You are doing Satan�s work in attempting to harm the church.�
The Mormon Church applies brainwashing by teaching that: Nothing is ever God�s, church leaders�, or the church�s fault. It is always the fault of the member�s behavior or a misunderstanding of church doctrine, or that Satan has led you in the wrong direction. This is a carryover of brainwashing from Joseph Smith, the founder of the church, who was very clever in always making the person feel guilty and responsible when he fails or questions church policy. Bishops and other church leaders generally give the same responses that Smith made to his followers. If you question church doctrine or the Book of Mormon, the Bishop or other church officials will tell you to read it again, be humble, remember you are a child of God, pray about it and he will tell you that it is true. Doubters of the truth of Mormonism are told that they are risking apostasy and separation from their families for eternity. This line is a powerful mind control tactic.

Jus' follow the prophet, Kevin, dear boy, and you will go far in this world and the next. (:

"Follow the Prophet he will NEVER lead you astray"
These "MISTAKES" made by the 1st PRES. show the FALLACY of going beyond God's word, making claims, and promises you can't keep.
The MAXIM says NEVER this is untenable and unrealistic. FALSE Advertising!
The maxim should be changed to "he will RARELY Lead you astray"
There is also supposed to be SAFETY when following the prophet (Teachings of the Living Prophets p 15) Mark Christenson followed the prophet in the Hofman affair and did the bidding of that prophet. Mark was the first victim blown up. Safety?
"The Saints can AVOID the pitfalls, DECEPTIONS, and false philosophies of the world if they will simply look to the Lord's chosen leadersand follow the counsel which the Lord gives through them" (Teachings Living prophets p 43)
Now here it implies one can AVIOD DECEPTION. Again it is demonstratably FALSE since Mark Hofman DECIEVED the WHOLE FIRST Presidency SEER Spencer W Kimball and SEER to be Hinckley included!
Should this be changed to the saints can sometimes Avoid?
"I say to Israel, 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." Wilford Woodruff general Conference Millenial Star 24 Nov 1890
So the Lord must have removed Kimball & Hinckley for leading astray.
It is not allowed in God's programme, why did God PERMIT the misleading of his people?
Now since the prophet said NEVER he speaking as the MOUTH of God at General Conference must have meant NEVER!
"Sometimes we get the notion that if it is written in a book, it makes it more True than if it is spoken in the last general Conference" Teachings Living Prophets p 19
The spoken words of GC are as binding as the STD Works. The people gave their common consent.
"What the President says is scripture" p 19
"thou shalt give heed to ALL his words" p 21
The prophet said it you have no authority to change it.
He said NEVER This makes him a false prophet.
"FOLLOW the Prophet he will RARELY lead you astray
