Ah, the famous "judge not lest ye be judged". Which has replaced John 3:16 as the most well known scripture quote in the bible. It's in the book of Mormon too, pretty much the same as it is in the bible. It's the most misread and misinterpreted scripture verse in history.
It says, "For with what judgement ye judge ye shall be judged and with what measure ye mere, it shall me measured to you again." That is sort of in contradiction to the judge not-because it says that applying certain judgements is okay as long as you are ready to have the same judgements applied to you.
So no, it's not saying never judge. It's saying don't judge unless you are ready to have the same standard of behavior applied to you.
