What things SHOULD we judge?
There are some things that we should make judgments on and some things that we should no.
Elder Dallin H. Oaks:
“I have been puzzled that some scriptures command us not to judge and others instruct us that we should judge and even tell us how to do it. I am convinced that these seemingly contradictory directions are consistent when we view them with the perspective of eternity. The key is to understand that there are two kings of judging: final judgments, which we are forbidden to make, and intermediate judgments, which we are directed to make, but upon righteous principles” (Judge Not and Judging [CES fireside for young adults, 1 Mar. 1998], 1).Split the class into three groups
Have each group read a section from “Final Judgment and Intermediate Judgment” pg. 304 from the Book of Mormon instruction manual: The final judgment, Intermediate Judgment and Making righteous intermediate judgments
Have group 1 explain The final judgment
Have group 2 explain Intermediate judgment
Have group 3 explain Making righteous intermediate judgments
