I in none of my post(s) on this issue told anyone how to behave.

So you are saying that judging isn't wrong? Then what the heck were you complaining about them judging for?

Oh we finally get to the crux of the issue.

You can call my original statement judging if you want. I however, do not tell people that I am a "Christian" living a life like Jesus and then stick the sword in their back. I do not have a pulpit I condemn them from and point my finger down at them (even though I have a Doctor of Divinity Degree). I do not go to the ladies character assassination and gossip auxiliary. I do not go to the deacons meeting and talk about how hot the young new preachers wife is.

My approach to people is that I am honest with them when asked and the rest of the time I am polite and friendly. I NEVER condemn the person - only the action - to THEM not to others unless it is necessary (such as work situation). I do not gossip or exaggerate. I help people when they ask and as a result I have many loyal friends that I trust with my life.

Again I only expressed my experience with organized religion and that I did not want to be associated with that type of behavior. It is still MY contention that I did not commit a judging (in the Biblical sense of the word) action because I did not judge a person ONLY those actions I have seen by MANY people claiming to be God like.

Judge not less ye be judged

We all have the power to judge...

All are denied the power to condemn.
