5. Truths and half-truths. "A lie is most effective when it can travel incognito in good company, or when it can be so intermarried with the truth that we cannot determine its lineage." True facts can even be used unrighteously, when they are severed from their context, where they can convey an erroneous impression.
Also, some things that are true are not edifying or appropriate to communicate, Elder Oaks said. Members should rely on the Holy Ghost, which if used, will not allow them to be mislead by lies and half-truths.
I kind of thought the Church was beyond making these kinds of statements. What does he mean, do you think, by stating that "some things" are not "appropriate to communicate." What truths should not be communicated and why should they not be? I would like to see further justification for this position so I can consider the arguments. Anyone?
