If FARMS did this, it would increase the quality of their apologia

Agreed. I just don't know if FARMS could pull it off, since it will always (for better or worse) be associated with BYU. What we need is an LDS scholar at a non-church school who has academic freedom. I miss Dean May.

This is why I don't feel obligated to follow any revelation not given directly to me. That is not to say I don't or won't follow revelation given to others, I just don't feel I am obligated to do so. If it's hard to interpret your own revelation, imagine trying to interpret someone else's.

Which is why the prophets have asked us to study it out in our minds so we also know of its truthfulness.

True. But you better not get a different answer than them.

If you do, I don't fault you for not following. OTH, when I acquiesce for a period, usually things work out or I see another path.

Intellectually, I can see different paths, and I agree our leaders err from time to time, but I don't purposefully oppose them, just voice quietly my disagreement, if asked or in a forum amongst friends or here.
