Elder Boyd K. Packer "Some things that are true are not very useful"
"Teaching some things that are true, prematurely or at the wrong time, can invite sorrow and heartbreak instead of the joy intended to accompany learning.... The scriptures teach emphatically that we must give milk before meat. The Lord made it very clear that some things are to be taught selectively and some things are to be given only to those who are worthy."
Elder Mark E. Petersen
"Our authorities are the scriptures, the four
standard works. Joseph Smith and the other Presidents and leaders are likewise
our authorities. They are our file leaders. We must teach as they do. We
must avoid the doctrines which they avoid" ("Avoiding Sectarianism," in
Charge to Religious Educators, 2nd ed. [1982], 118).
"Be not led by any spirit or influence that discredits
established authority . . . or leads away from the direct revelations
of God for the government of the Church. The Holy Ghost does not contradict its
own revealings. Truth is always harmonious with itself. Piety is often the cloak
of error. The counsels of the Lord through the channel he has appointed will be
followed with safety" (Joseph F. Smith, Anthon H. Lund, and Charles W. Penrose,
"A Warning Voice," Improvement Era, Sept. 1913, 1149).

Aug 8,1992 - Salt Lake Tribune reports that First Presidencys spokesman has acknowledged existence of special Strengthening the Members Committee that keeps secret files on church members regarded as disloyal. Due to publicity on this matter, including New York Times, Presidency issues statement on 13 Aug. defending organization of this apostle-directed committee as consistent with Gods commandment to Joseph Smith to gather documentation about non-Mormons who mob and persecute LDS Church. Presidency lists Apostles James E. Faust and Russell M. Nelson as leading the committee.
