A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. - Prov. 18:8
"We invite the dissenters as well as others to open their eyes and see the beauties and thrills available to those who walk in His path looking for the good," Elder Marvin J. Ashton of the Council of the Twelve said at the October 1983 general conference."For example, it is a sad day in the life of any individual or group when by present training, attitude, and design, they would go to a football game and judge the participants by the dirt and grime on their uniforms rather than by how many tackles were made or yards gained.
". . . We all have eyes, ears and minds to lift, lead and love. Total commitment to God and His ways will not permit us to engage in destructive criticism, retaliation or undue disgust. We should commit ourselves to marching shoulder to shoulder in the battle to save souls - without destroying, condemning or belittling."
