FOLLOW THE PROPHET!

I shamelessly pulled this from my fb pal who is a pretty awesome guy:

Follow the Prophet:
Joseph taught us to build the Nauvoo Temple to be safe from the mobs.
Brigham taught us to keep our kids out of public school
Joseph F. Smith opposed evolution.
Don't speculate - invest on wall street
Get out of debt
gambling
liquor
Get all the education you can
Save 2 years supply of food and resources
McKay warned us about socialism
Kimball warned against working Mothers
President Benson warned, "And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon AND THE FORMER COMMANDMENTS which I have given them, not only to say, but to do according to that which I have written" (We get former commandments from former presidents.)
What would the church have become if we had done what God counseled us through previous prophets? We would be a powerful, righteous, and delight some people. It seems to me that Amos 3:7 comes years and even generations prior to the consequences - in other words, our solution for today's calamities are in previous warnings and admonitions.

    It would not have followed much prophecy about Saints in the last days and the remnant being the ones awake enough to move on.
