Elsie I have witness your indifference to trying to not understand what you are posting and assigning your world view, members of the Church understood what Pres. Benson saying was to remind and clarify the role of a Prophet as well as give council for the day in which we live to walk through the valley of tears.
The power of the Priesthood even on to women if their is no patriarch in the home, than the sister receives this, even single or widow sisters.
It is refer to as drawing down the powers of Heaven
Sadly some will trample on this and try to use it for fodder.
Personal Revelation
http://www.lds.org/ensign/1999/09/personal-revelation
The Prophet speaks on all thing pertaining to the Lord’s Church he is the Lord’s mouth piece.
Each individual is responsible for their own choices or decisions. The Father aka Patriarch is responsible for the family unit.
There is order in the Lord’s kingdom
Then WHY does Mormonism have 12 yesmen that affirm UNANIMOUSLY what he says?
The prophets of OLD never need this kind of backup!
Can you NOT see this plain fact?
The power of the Priesthood even on to women if their is no patriarch in the home, than the sister receives this, even single or widow sisters.

The order of the day in the Mormon kingdom just 60 years ago ....
The Mormon Apostle Mark E. Petersen made these comments in an address delivered at Brigham Young University:
What should be our attitude as Latter-day Saints toward negro and other dark race? . . . We cannot escape the conclusion that because of performance in our pre-existence some of us are born as Chinese, some as Japanese, some as Indians, some as Negroes, some as Americans, some as Latter-day Saints. These are rewards and punishments, . . .
Now let’s talk segregation again for a few moments. . . . When the Lord chose the nations to which the spirits were to come, . . . He engaged in an act of segregation. . . . In placing a curse on Laman and Lemuel, He engaged in segregation. . . .
The Lord segregated the people both as to blood and place of residence. At least in the cases of the Lamanites and the Negroes we have the definite word of the Lord Himself that He places a dark skin upon them as a curse—as a punishment and as a sign to all others. He forbade intermarriage with them under threat of extension of the curse. (2 Nephi 5:21) . . .
What is our advice with respect to intermarriage with Chinese, Japanese, Hawaiians and so on? I will tell you what advice I give personally. If a boy or girl comes to me claiming to be in love with a Chinese or Japanese or a Hawaiian or a person of any other dark race, I do my best to talk them out of it. I tell them that I think the Hawaiians should marry Hawaiians, the Japanese ought to marry Japanese, and the Chinese ought to marry Chinese, and the Caucasians should marry Caucasians, . . . I teach against inter-marriage of all kinds. (Race Problems—As They Affect The Church, Address by Mark E. Petersen, Brigham Young University, August 27, 1954)
The prophet speaks on all thing pertaining to the lord’s church he is the lord’s mouth piece.
