But many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are very concerned that they are showing a lack of faith if they question their leaders. Though we are warned to follow our leaders to help us be safe in these perilous times, that does not mean that we are to blindly follow them like unthinking robots. We each have a responsibility to carefully study the things our leaders say, then we must pray to know what they are saying is right. It is only after own own effort that we can gain our own testimony, our own witness from God, of the truth of what our leaders are saying. It is only when we act on what we have learned to be right, that we will grow and progress.
Some members can feel OK about asking for a confirmation that what leaders are saying is right, but feel that they are doing something wrong if they question Church doctrine. What confuses members and is causing their concern is that there are seeing two different things. One is the honest questioning of a person who is looking for answers. The other is people who are looking merely for a quick way to discount the Gospel teachings and live a less demanding life.
