   >Then, others in the Mormon Church claimed also to receive visions of   
   >revelations. (see Deut 18:10 above) But Smith said only he has the right   
   >to dictate Scripture and doctrine. Yes, at times, what he said was   
   >considered Scripture. Later, higher-uppers in the Church claimed to have   
   >seen angels, spoke in tongues, and prophesied. But notice 1 Cor 13:8,   
      
   Ellen g. white had thousands of dreams, she used them to reach the same   
   results as mr. russel later adopted in inventing jw doctrines.   
   >   
   The various jw popes in the history of jw said they were the final word on   
   the meaning of scripture, and that meaning could change, even reverse.   
      
   Many jw predictions for the 2nd coming were set forth in the past 125 or so   
   years, they all failed.
