I'm not sure.... I haven't watched the newer ones after Disney bought it from Lucas.

Your comments are, as always, eminently fair and reasonable.  But to @zil2’s comments I would add a citation to Mosiah 3:7 and an observation that the phrase “every pore” appears in conference sermons no fewer than 100 times, in sermons going all the way back to Brigham Young.  I don’t necessarily want to say that the idea that Jesus didn’t *literally* bleed at every pore, is incorrect; but within the LDS Church it certainly seems to be a minority position at present.

I’m agreeing with you when posting the following statement:
 
President Ezra Taft Benson - 
“The most important prophet, so far as we are concerned, is the one who is living in our day and age. This is the prophet who has today’s instructions from God to us. God’s revelation to Adam did not instruct Noah how to build the ark. Every generation has need of the ancient scripture, plus the current scripture from the living prophet. Therefore, the most crucial reading and pondering that you should do is of the latest inspired words from the Lord’s mouthpiece. That is why it is essential that you have access to and carefully read his words. …
Yes, we thank thee, O God, for a prophet to guide us in these latter days [see Hymns, no. 19]
Beware of those who would set up the dead prophets against the living prophets, for the living prophets always take precedence.“

It seems clear that both are needed, both are relevant, and scripture is ongoing. 
 
I believe what @askandanswer was trying to say is what President Benson stated about the living prophet taking precedence. If I misunderstand, though, feel free to correct me.

Did Zil die 3 days ago?! <surprised pikachu> 

They are modern Shakespeare plays. 
 
Now, before you dismiss what I’m saying, think about it. 
 
They are often humorous. 
 
They offer commentary into the modern state of our society and its woes. 
 
They present dilemmas in which friendly allegiances are tested, fortified, and often betrayed. 
 
You generally see the bad guys cheat to win and then brag about their victory. The good guys, on the other hand, will get beaten down again and again, only to try and rise above the impossible odds in which they’ve been placed. 
 
There are often situations which ask questions concerning what the right thing to do would be in the given circumstances. 
 
While it certainly wouldn’t be considered the highest form of art, there is an immense amount of talent and training that goes into being able to adjust the prewritten storylines on the fly in front of live audiences, often due to trying to work safely and avoid injuries, all while staying ‘in character.’

3 Nephi 11:8 “… for they thought it was an angel that had appeared unto them.“

To be fair, even the Nephites didn’t find the real life Jesus to be an accurate portrayal.

I admit that they could not have chosen a better and more appropriate name.

Pronouns are he/hee.

Taking things with a grain of salt is the mark of the Beast.

Figured I would link directly to the court opinion so everyone could read for themselves:

To be fair, my grandparents have voted strictly Democrat for 30 years. Very devout Christians, they wanted what was best people. 
 
Just two, warm and friendly people who passed away in the early 1990’s. 

Clearly my attempt at humor was too subtle….? 
 
My grandparents have been voting Democrat for 30 years. They passed away 30 years ago… rigged elections and… nevermind.  <sigh> 

Spiritually speaking, I would say so. 
 
Sounds to me like there is a future sacrament meeting parable you are being blessed with here… 
 
Temporally speaking, @Grunt summed up the solutions to the issues, at least for a time and less frequently. 
 
But spiritually speaking, are there daily, weekly, monthly, and annual “screws” that a father should retighten for/with his children? Do those become burdensome or flat out annoying at times? Is there spiritual locktite that can be applied? (Just spitballing here!)

lock washers, wood glue, and locktite.

D&C 42:13 And they shall observe the covenants and church articles to do them, and these shall be their teachings, as they shall be directed by the Spirit.

14 And the Spirit shall be given unto you by the prayer of faith; and if ye receive not the Spirit ye shall not teach.
 
 
D&C 52:17 Verily I say unto you, he that is ordained of me and sent forth to preach the word of truth by the Comforter, in the Spirit of truth, doth he preach it by the Spirit of truth or some other way?

18 And if it be by some other way it is not of God.

19 And again, he that receiveth the word of truth, doth he receive it by the Spirit of truth or some other way?

20 If it be some other way it is not of God.

21 Therefore, why is it that ye cannot understand and know, that he that receiveth the word by the Spirit of truth receiveth it as it is preached by the Spirit of truth?

22 Wherefore, he that preacheth and he that receiveth, understand one another, and both are edified and rejoice together.

23 And that which doth not edify is not of God, and is darkness.
