Mormons - If you became the president of the church and you didn't have any revelations, what would you do?

Question

Would you act like you did?
Would you tell the church members?

RT - I suppose if we asked your Boss he would say you don't have the ability to answer abstract questions and need to be spoon fed information in order to eliminate all the "...and?" moments in your life. ;)

Answer 1

I would say there has been no revelation. Things are good as they are for now.

If however there continued to be no revelation I would pray with my counsellors to find out whether I should still be President.

Answer 2

I would just assume that things were going the way He wanted them to, and would stay the course. There is no need to say I heard from Him if I didn't. That would be lying, and God doesn't like lying. What kind of a leader would I be if I had to lie to my people?

Although, since I get inspiration almost daily anyway, I would say it would be a non-issue.

Answer 3

I can't do my own calling without revelation. I assume the leaders of the Church are constantly receiving revelation to do theirs. Revelation does not always come from Mount Sinai. It pertains to all the ordinary things, as well as principles of doctrine.

Answer 4

I wouldn't change anything. I would say that God hasn't directed me to change the course -simply hold to the plan.

Why would I need to claim any great event happening? If God doesn't have anything tom say to me, then who would I be to question him. What a silly question

Answer 5

...and?
you make it sound like my boss who does not have a clue and couldn't express it if he did.

Answer 6

I would tell them "God hasn't told me anything"

Answer 7

if i would lie, i wouldnt be the prophet
