I judge no one. I have no authority nor do I want that Authority.
In order to have the authority you must be Good. Only God is Good.
Mark 10:17-18: Jesus refutes being good, Only God is Good "Nobody is good", Jesus States.
With that in mind, overzealous witnesses certainly have passion. AWESOME. What comes along with passion is action, quick action, quick thinking. Which at Times they can say certain...negative things. It is not their fault. It is their imperfect nature. They want to forgive, they want to understand, but imperfection complicates it. (Anyway A good point to demonstrate to Catholics and Trinity believers If Jesus says he's not Good and only God is... Their point is void.)

Now onto judging - My favorite Subject:
Romans 2:16 - God through Jesus judges the Secret things of mankind, according to the good news....(read on)
In addition, here is a perfect one for you:
ROMANS 14:10-12: "But why do you judge your brother? Alternatively, why do you also look down on your brother? FOR WE SHALL ALL STAND BEFORE THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF GOD." ....read on then in verse 13: "THEREFORE LET US NOT BE JUDGING ONE ANOTHER ANY LONGER, BUT RATHER MAKE THIS YOUR DECISION, NOT TO PUT BEFORE A BROTHER A STUMBLING BLOCK OR A CAUSE FOR TRIPPING" then keep reading verse 15: " FOR BECAUSE OF FOOD YOUR BROTHER IS BEING GRIEVED, YOU ARE NO LONGER WALKING IN ACCORD WITH THE LOVE. Do NOT BY YOUR FOOD RUIN THAT ONE FOR WHOM CHRIST DIED 16:"DO NOT THEREFORE LET THE GOOD YOU PEOPLE DO BE SPOKEN OF WITH INJURY TO YOU"
I shall repeat: "DO NOT THEREFORE LET THE GOOD YOU PEOPLE DO BE SPOKEN OF WITH INJURY TO YOU"
Moreover, continue reading that chapter in Romans it good.
If you think you are spiritually aglow and you are belittling your fellow Christian Jehovah Witness you have left the path of Love. Only God will judge when that day comes as a thief in the night!
I admit that I am neither a good nor a decent Witness of the good word, but I am trying to be better, trying to be as close to good as I can.
Encouragement is what people need, not petty squabbles and belittling words.
If you have time to Judge me, you are wasting time that you can be preaching to those who need more help.
If you have time to encourage me, then you could possibly be saving my life and I thank you. I thank you very much.
Delete this if I'm offbase. It is late.
Don't let them keep you down! Ps. 34:18: “Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.”
Its easy to look at someone else and give your opinion about their situation, cause you aren't in it. The truth is nobody really knows whats going on but Jehovah. People gossip and talk... its like the tides, it will always be. The sooner you realize that those people that bash or judge you aren't your friends and not worth the stress, the better off you will be.
Sometimes it takes a bad situation or a rough patch in life to really show you who your true friends are. Those people that pick you up, dust you off and then slap you upside the head but then move on... THOSE are the people that you need to keep close to you. The rest... meh... dont let them get to you. Everyone has made bad choices or mistakes in life, we are ALL imperfect... simple as that.
keep on rollin' baby....
and yes... i did just quote Limp Bizkit...
well said
keep your chin up bro.
