Kwaku, we love you, but someone had to call you out eventually... 😉  Sometimes we get really, really angry comments from people not of our faith (our religion being the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). And sadly, even people of our faith leave angry comments as well. There seems to be A LOT of contention. Is contention ever okay? When should we fight for our beliefs and if so, how do we go about it?   

David says that there is a difference between disagreeing and being contentious. He says that if you are contentious in missionary work, you are a missionary for the wrong side. The spirit will never inspire you to be contentious.   Kwaku has a different opinion. He says that we need to re-define contention. We should be able to defend ourselves against false claims. Kwaku does mention, however, that if a comment is blatantly malicious, it’s rare for him to address the comment as he knows that his comment won’t change the mind of the person.   Justin says that you can usually tell when the spirit has left a conversation. He talks about his confrontation with a member of the Jehovah Witness Church. He said that the conversation eventually turned into an unnecessary debate that didn’t help either party.
