Thanks for being cool about this all. I’m a member myself. I served in Madagascar. It’s nice to see people utilizing the blogosphere for a good cause. It’s a tricky thing to talk to people online, as many can be closed minded before they even give people a chance to talk openly. You’ve done a great job at adapting to the format and being open.

I’ll be reading as much as I can.

Thanks, I addressed what I interpreted to be your question at the top of the page here. Here is question as I re-phrased it: Q) How frequently do significant/revolutionary revelations from the Prophet come about? How would Mitt Romney handle these revelations as President?

Usually, when questions are asked, they are in paragraph form, so I try to break them down into simple Question form just for continuity and ease of read. Check out the first Q & A at the top of the page and let me know if this is what you are looking for from your question. If not or if you want more clarification, please ask!

Sorry about the confusion, I should have posted a comment letting you know I answered it.

In any case, your answers to the other questions above were informative and I’ve enjoyed reading the campaign coverage on your main blog.

That said, the key LDS belief in living prophets and ongoing revelation leaves me at a bit of a loss. I have read through President Hinckley’s comments at the last general meeting, and there seems to be nothing revolutionary or exceptional contained within them. But I know that significant revelations, which have required meaningful changes in the lives of believers, occurred with some frequency in the early church history and have continued into my lifetime (such as the ‘78 revelation re: Blacks in the priesthood). And I wonder what sweeping changes that Mr. Romney would feel obliged to observe could occur during his time in office should he win the Presidency.

While I would not be so presumptuous as to ask you to predict future revelation, I wonder if you could explain how frequently significant revelations have occurred in the recent past, and possibly offer an example or two? Thanks.

Thank you again.

I posted an answer to your question at the top of your page. Enjoy.

thanks for your questions. I hope I can answer them to you approval. I will have an answer up by Sunday evening at the latest. I know that is a ways away, but bear with me. I am pretty busy. There is also a lot in what you asked also. Thanks
