“Following prophets makes sense because, when it comes to leaders and exemplars, they are without peer. They may not be perfect, but they are perfectly consecrated. No leaders on earth come closer to perfection in terms of their motives and the counsel they provide for navigating perilous times. . . .”

She explains that while they may not be infallible, they are the LEAST fallible people on earth.
They are the ones who are the farthest down the covenant path.
The Holy Ghost reveals truth to us, and so do these men.

There’s so much more. It is either high praise for incredibly spiritually gifted men, or idolatry to the max.

Priestcraft without the priesthood.

[BringerOfJoy]

They are the ones who are the farthest down the covenant path.

Well, I'll agree that they are the farthest down SOME path. Which one it is, is open to question.

[ransomme]

She's all in, kool-aid and all

[Lizzy60]

I think they have trotted her out AGAIN to try to plug the holes in the dike, but the ocean of doubt (because covid response, SEC, et al) is continuing to erode the trust many members once had.

[tribrac]

So does she completely abandon the idea they are directly communicating with God?

[InfoWarrior82]

"They may not be perfect, but they can never lead the church astray. It's very easy to understand. They can make mistakes about things that they declare aren't important, but can never make mistakes about the things they declare are important. Don't be stupid, follow them! They can see around corners! Nevermind that they have zero characteristics of unique fruits of prophets we read about in our scriptures! When God speaks, they can just make an ensign article about it and completely disregard direct source quotes."

Maybe, but if so they are woefully disconnected because nobody but the bluest blues sees Sheri as credible....

Was this meant to be a double entendre?

I don't expect the "prophets" to be perfect. But I sincerely disagree with her message. Without hyperbole, I genuinely believe that at this current time, there are MANY people in the world who get it right far more frequently than the Q15, including and maybe even especially as to RMN. The Q15 are operating within a worldview that is grossly misinformed, and which is leading them to consistently make decisions that defy reason.

I would even go so far as to suggest that MOST people who understand the reality of a global secret combination and their objectives are getting it right more than the current Q15.

I wish the Q15 could understand that one thing. I don't hold ill will toward them. It does not bring me joy or pleasure to feel at odds with them. But their worldview blinds them to some supremely important realities, and by extension blinds those who follow them as if they could see.

Isn’t it likely they agree with the agenda of the secret combination? In their minds they are getting it right because their education and their advisors reinforce their worldview. Individual freedom guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution is not at the top of their concerns.

I think you are absolutely right.

So does she completely abandon the idea they are directly communicating with God?

No, she implies they are in direct communication, especially as it pertains to how the 15 were chosen:

“Only the President of the Church is authorized to appoint a new Apostle, and he does so as the Lord directs him. The Lord then controls through life and death which Apostles live long enough to become the senior Apostle. . . .Prophets, seers, and revelators are prepared, called, guided, tutored, mentored, and directed by the Lord, who is the Head of the Church.”

Does “called, guided, tutored, mentored, and directed by the Lord” imply direct communication? I would say that it does.

[Ebenezer]

"He controls through life and death which apostles live long enough to become the senior apostle..."

Why wouldn't the Lord just call his prophet outright?

[fractal_light_harvest]

Sheri Dew is such a prophetess. She really knows what she’s talking about. She’s not talking out of her you-know-what at all!! I ALWAYS listen to Sheri Dew!! Let’s….go….SHOPPING!!!!! Yay for profits!!

[Ebenezer]

I read the article at LDS living and it reads like a parody. It's absurd. She condemns flattery while heaping praise on these "least fallible men on earth."

We are The Church of The Brethren.

I feel bad for Sheri Dew. She has no family, no husband, no kids. Her career was given to her by these men who she idolizes (for a living). She must live an empty life. At least she has Wendy, I guess. I wonder if they fought about who Russ would choose.

[Reluctant Watchman]

I read the article at LDS living and it reads like a parody. It's absurd. She condemns flattery while heaping praise on these "least fallible men on earth."

She actually gave a talk at a women's conference where she condemned the worldly praise that often corrupts, and then within a minute, she was heaping praise on the women of the church for their faithfulness. I was basking in the irony.

BTW, I thought Sheri did have a wife.......

That's strange. So nobody could have known about the SEC filing requirement if the least fallible people on earth missed it? I read the SE law and it's pretty easy to understand. I think I have an average IQ. Apparently, some people in the church audit department are less fallible than these men because they caught it too. These men claimed that they deferred to lawyers to make the call. Well, then they hire dumb lawyers. Still their fault. When I use the word "their" I mean 20 years of church leadership by the LEAST fallible people on earth.

P.S. If she likes to listen to men so much then she should get married. My wife can't shut me up sometimes. There's still time Sheri

[Seed Starter]

And why doesn't she point to following The Spirit above all men? Please support these middlemen so I can sell my books.

She has the utter, unmitigated gall to mention Covid. She. Is. So. Dumb.

“One of today’s biggest crises is that too many people do not know where to look for truth. . . . Whether the question at hand concerns COVID or any other compelling issue..”

Isaiah spoke pretty plainly about folks like her.

One thing Jesus NEVER said was to follow someone else. When satanists claim that we should follow the profit, they are literally mocking God. Jesus EXACT words were "Come, follow me." Claiming that he said something different is fabricating his words. It actually PROVES that they hate Jesus.

Well, when you get your news from mainstream media, it's no wonder she believes this. It's too bad she doesn't have grandchildren to show her how to tune into Alex Jones.

I guess this proves that being a fangirl/groupie has no age limit
