My take on the “judge not lest ye be judged” has to do with sentencing or punishment in the case of moral sin. Christ was essentially calling out the “prostitutes” accusers. Naming them, and reminding them of what they had done in the past. It was along the lines of the “Harper Valley PTA” song. Christ also said to the sinner, your sins are forgiven, depart from me and SIN NO MORE. How judgmental of him.
I can’t remember the next lines, but my understanding is that Christ was telling us to judge wisely.

I agree, in that context Christ wasn’t saying the prostitute never sinned simply that they who were about to stone her were not in a position to punish her for her sin.
Indeed it was his whole point that they had all sinned. Very ‘judgmental’ of him. Just because your not in a position to kill someone for their sins doesn’t means you shouldn’t discourage their sinning.
