Excerpts from the blathering of President Dallin Hoax
First Counsellor in the First Presidency
General Conference OCTOBER 2018

(Please bare in mind this bloody fool was once a high court judge.)

[N]ot all of this information is true. We need to be cautious as we seek truth and choose sources for that search. We should not consider secular prominence or authority as qualified sources of truth...We should also be cautious about the motivation of the one who provides information...When we seek the truth about religion, we should use spiritual methods appropriate for that search: prayer, the witness of the Holy Ghost, and study of the scriptures and the words of modern prophets.

“scientific truth” is not the whole of life. Those who do not learn “by study and also by faith” (Doctrine and Covenants 88:118) limit their understanding of truth to what they can verify by scientific means. That puts artificial limits on their pursuit of truth.

Satan’s most strenuous opposition is directed at whatever is most important to God’s plan. He seeks to destroy God’s work ... He also seeks to confuse gender, to distort marriage, and to discourage childbearing—especially by parents who will raise children in truth.

Our knowledge of God’s revealed plan of salvation requires us to oppose current social and legal pressures to retreat from traditional marriage and to make changes that confuse or alter gender or homogenize the differences between men and women. We know that the relationships, identities, and functions of men and women are essential to accomplish God’s great plan.

The work of the Lord is going forward despite the organized and constant opposition that confronts us ... don’t be among those “who would rather try to change the Church than to change themselves.”

It was when I understood that these supposedly most faifhful of men who would tell church members to trust them implicitly because they "would never lead them astray" were willing to lie and deceive the membership in order to maintain faith in the chuch that I decided this church was not what it claimed to be and that trust in these men was misplaced because they were undeserving of this trust.

Yup it was usually quoting this load of tripe

The Lord will never permit me or any other man who stands as President of this Church to lead you astray. It is not in the programme. It is not in the mind of God. If I were to attempt that, the Lord would remove me out of my place, and so He will any other man who attempts to lead the children of men astray from the oracles of God and from their duty. (President Wilford Woodruff Sixty-first Semiannual General Conference of the Church, Monday, October 6, 1890, Salt Lake City, Utah. Reported in Deseret Evening News, October 11, 1890, p. 2.)

So basically if we lie about God not letting church authorities lie, you can trust that we are not lying because we told you god won't let us lie.
Only in religion is a circular argument acceptable proof of itself.
