Obeying Leadership

Lately I have heard people use the last verse in Judges to lay a guilt trip on Christians for not obeying leadership.
Judges 21:25
25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
KJV
I wonder if others have heard it used that way. And what do you think?
God had never appointed a king over Israel at that time. So who’s fault is it that there is no king. Are we not suppose to be so intament with the Holy Spirit that we are being led by him 24, 7.
Is a leader a boss or a servant according to scripture?
Just wondering ?

Obeying leadership? As in church leadership or what? Show me some verses!!
I have followed way too many church leaders who took me down rabbit trails.
No more blind trust. No more naive submissions. No more!
I will follow to a point, as long as I know they are following God, showing good fruit and being obedient to God and His Word.
Being a leader is a tough job. I know I wouldn't want it.

at first i thought i only had one thing to say and then i started to realize i have more than a few; i may be misspoken and am willing to be corrected; these are just the thoughts in my heart based on my understandings; I am not a "scripturally knowledgeable" Christian and won't pretend to be, I will only speak to you from within my heart/spirit.
Sometimes, do leaders lead us down the wrong path? yes. do we forgive them? YES. "judge not lest ye be judged".
do we question them if we are being prompted by our spirits, the still voice within us, I feel yes; we should but not openly; that is what I feel the Holy Spirit is guiding us to seek out the answers ourselves. We do not want to do anything to bring division; as that is what the devil wants; is to cause division. if it something we feel may not be of GOD, we speak to that leader respectfully where others may not hear or see, and let him know what we may or may not be feeling/hearing/thinking. Pray and seek GOD for guidance, wisdom and discernment; but do not ever criticize or publicly humiliate a leader; as that does not glorify or edify GOD. If you feel you have received some sort of revelation about a leader that you need to share with others who also of spiritual interaction with that individual, pray and ask GOD that those who need to know what you are you seeing/feeling/ will seek you out so you are not causing division and go from there. If it is something obviously immoral or illegal, then yes, by all means; let others know so you can take care of it thru proper channels,but otherwise, I feel it's best to keep it under your hat and pray about it.
just my two cents; ok; jumping off soap box now;
pray those words touch and help those who need it; (including myself)
