Reason #19 - Prophets, Apostles, and Other Seventy

The chruch is organized the way it was anciently with a Prophet, Apostles, Other Seventy etc. I've listened to the story of Joseph Smith and I've listened to our living Prophets today and I am always very impressed with their messages. I sometimes hear from others concerning their belief that we, as Latter Day Saints, blindly follow our leaders and I've thought a lot about this lately. First of all, every organization has it's leaders. School's have leaders, other churches have leaders, military needs leaders, etc and so forth. It's how we stay organized and usually when we follow the leader we are placing our trust in them. To not follow our leaders is chaos in most cases because someone is always in charge. I have many other thoughts on this too, but I don't feel I should share them now. I definately believe, however, that we are not "blindly" following anyone. In fact, as most of us have investigated the church prior to joining we ask a lot of questions and do a lot of observing.
