Comments: Experienced missionaries can handle those questions easily. It's all about knowing what to say and when to say it.

Situation In You What

Yes, experienced missionaries can handle those questions easily and President Hincley was once a missionary that's why he didn't answer that question because it's in a wrong timing to say it and he had been wise.

President Hinckley was a very wise and caring man. Whoever criticizes him for the way he handled questions don't know much about his sweet spirit. He tried his very best.

What a great comment, Rominal! We should not criticize President Hincley, and that he'd just tried to get away from arguments. Saying all the deep doctrines by broadcast is not wise.

Comments: The way I talk about the church is usually based on what questions I'm being asked. If someone just generally wants to know what my beliefs are I tell them. If they start out about Joe Smith and all his wives then I know they're looking for a fight so I just don't entertain it.

What Would You Do In This Situation?

Well, JoePublic, that's a great idea, I also don't entertain those who ask Joseph Smith's wives if they have a bad intention. But if it's not, and if they're just curious, well, I'll tell them a little bit and refer them to our full-time missionaries.
It happened last month when my Aunt's husband told me he had attended our church service once but he asked me about Joseph Smith's wives and when I sensed that he's just asking without bad motive-I told me him the story and then he liked my explanation, he just smiled and left into thinking. That was a nice experience for me.

The church generally doesn't like going into those areas because I'd say 99% of the members don't really know the history behind the early church and these practices.

I wouldn't say anything. I know it is important to share the truth of your beliefs but at the same time, they might not understand. Maybe these guys are not the best people to make good friends with if they can't understand you. However sometimes its best to just stay quite about certain things. I don't think it is such a horrible thing to stay quite about certain beliefs or laws you follow. They are your friends not religious comrades. They just get you on a different level. I think you could be friends with them and not be so critical on the religion stuff. However if they start trying to get you to do things that are against your beliefs I would speak up, or get out of that situation.
