How the church is teaching YM about Common Consent

[MikeWaters]

and "searching it out in your mind."

Aaronic Priesthood Manual 1, Lesson 12

Conclusion
Quotation and discussion

Sister Elaine A. Cannon, who has devoted much of her life to guiding and teaching young people, bore this witness of the living prophet: “Now, as he speaks to us … it is as if the Lord Jesus Christ himself were addressing us. … Christ made this very clear when he said to others of his children a time ago, ‘Blessed are ye if ye shall give heed unto the words of these … whom I have chosen from among you to minister unto you’ (3 Nephi 12:1). … Your course should become clear, your priorities ought to be known to you. … Personal opinions vary. Eternal principles never do. When the prophet speaks … the debate is over” (“If We Want to Go Up, We Have to Go On,” New Era, Jan.–Feb. 1979, pp. 40–41).

• What did Sister Cannon mean when she said that when the prophet speaks, the debate is over?

• Why is this so important to us?

I have a very simple question. If when the prophet speaks, the debate is over--doesn't that mean all people who are within the voice of the prophet should actually be LDS? I guess they didn't get this lesson.

Why are they continuing to teach that way?
