Interesting points.
Here are some quotes:
"And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet." - Ex. 7:1
"These Scriptures are a mixture of very strange doctrines to the Christian world, who are blindly led by the blind. I will refer to another Scripture. "Now," says God, when He visited Moses in the bush, (Moses was a stammering sort of a boy like me) God said, "Thou shalt be a God unto the children of Israel." God said, "Thou shalt be a God unto Aaron, and he shall be thy spokesman." I believe those Gods that God reveals as Gods to be sons of God, and all can cry, "Abba, Father!" Sons of God who exalt themselves to be Gods, even from before the foundation of the world, and are the only Gods I have a reverence for." - Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Section Six 1843-44, p.374
I am convinced that President Monson is God over the church member in general. The reason being that your ultimate authority is your God and the members will believe/follow the prophet over and above the voice of God to them directly through the spirit. So, for better or worse, the Prophet is their God.
