Most of the time.
But in a lot of the most contentious or controversial cases, it is when a member is asked to obey a local church leader.
For example, I believe the men that followed their leaders during the MMM, eventually came to deeply regret that decision. I don't think they felt blessed at all.
So I have big-time problems with the idea that one should just obey and not consider whether it is wise to accept the counsel.
