My PB was nice. I read it often. I shrank it on the printer and used copies for bookmarks in my scriptures lol. It said I would meet and marry an RM and we would get married in the temple! And wow! I did. So it must be true... or I made it happen, cos that's what I wanted.
It also said that that if I kept reading the BoM constantly, I would be protected against Satan. Years later my reading fizzled away to nothing.. Oops.
The point is.. neither of these things make startling revelation
They are natural consequences of actions. Of course I wanted to marry an RM in the temple.. of course, the chances of falling prey to satan (disengaging and thinking for yourself) if you stop doing every minute thing the church demands (there's a reason there is so much to do) I find it hard to believe that a testimony of this great and mighty restoration of the lords true church, Jesus, prophets back on the earth!! can all be lost cos I missed my morning study, or drank a cup of coffee. Buts that's a whole other topic.
There's an article on Mormon think about patriarchal blessings.
You have to scroll down to it
