Don’t forget Benson’s speech on the “fundamentals of following the prophet”, one of them is “the prophet does NOT have to say ‘thus saith the Lord’ to give us scripture.”

"Therefore the most important reading we can do is any of the words of the prophet contained each month in our Church Magazines. Our instructions about what we should do for each six months are found in the General Conference addresses which are printed in the Church magazine."

"Beware of those who would set up the dead prophets against the living prophets, for the living prophets always take precedence."

"Fourth: The prophet will never lead the Church astray.
President Wilford Woodruff stated:
“I say to Israel, the Lord will never permit me or any other man who stands as president of the Church to lead you astray. It is not in the program. It is not in the mind of God.” (The Discourses of Wilford Woodruff, pp. 212–13.)

They apparently forgot Young's Adam-God doctrine, or Smith's polygamy. Pratt changing the book of Moses to reflect the JST/IV instead of Smith's origional. Mormon god is a god of confusion.

So, if Monson takes precedence over JS, then do those who die, need Monson’s approval to get into the CK, rather than JS’s?
