The Church does not do that but who can stop some from creating fear! You never pipe up when Billy Graham or even where Obama is getting his religious council from! [Restornu]

Actually, I do speak out about where Obama gets his coucil from. They are all libs and heretics.
And there is a HUGE difference in how Christians perceive their Pastor and how the LDS perceive their Prophet. Pastors can give spiritual guidance but the LDS prophet supposedly speaks for God.
If God is advising you through your infallible Prophet then of course you would listen to him. To do otherwise would be to go against LDS church teachings.
There is no such thing as an infallible prophet unless you want to include Jesus Christ.
The Prophets of the Lord are human and have the same trial as other children of God they have similar family issues and all the other probationary tempting as their sisters and brothers.
Just because there are no journals around does not mean they never had flaws or trials!
