judging others

[warrior__poet]

this isn't going to be that clear, because it's still a bit murky inside my brain. It's something I've been thinking about from time to time, but never in that wholehearted way that is necessary to truly flesh an idea out. It's also going to be murky b/c I don't have time to back up with scripture references, which I recognize as being essential

I don't have anything to add because I'm not Christian, but I was curious what your friends had to say about this. Too bad nobody is replying!

If you are willing to accept theoutcome of your kind rebuke, then you should certainly not allow people to go through life believing 2 + 2 = 5. That it may not be taken well is something you need to have in your mind before hand, and prepare for the possibility that not only will they not listen, but turn away from you forever.

I like to be diplomatic in as much as I tend to not "say as much in so many words", but find some alternate way to get the story across... sort of like a modern day parable. I can't think of an example at the moment.

Folks still give me the hairy eyeball as if silently asking, "Did you just slam me?" They don't know for sure, but I am going to remain inb their lives to provide assistance again should they require it.
