Imagine walking through a meadow in a forest with Gordon B Hinckle on a warm sunny day. You notice a bear coming toward you but still a ways away on the edge of the forest. The bear makes a definitive motion with its paw as if signaling you to follow it. The bear turns around, moves a few steps into the forest and then turns back and repeats the motion. You feel a burning in your bosom and long to experience the adventure that awaits you. However, Mr. Hinckle grabs your arm and says, "Wait, I don't think we should go." What do you do?
Would you decide to follow the bear or not?
Explain your reasoning.

I would follow the prophet in this case. If instead he said follow the bear, I would question how much he knew about walking in the woods and bears.

Gordon B. Hinckley or a bear
I am trusting the prophet -- no bear is going to motion and give me a warm feeling.

Odd that you chose a bear...anywho...
I would most likely follow the prophet. I already know him to be a man of God and know that what he says comes straight from the Lord Himself.

No, I would not. Why? Because Gorden B Hinckle is a profit. If you believe that, you would not question why...
