Veteran Member: I Share (not Debate) my POV
That is very honest. I have gone through that also. Was good being on RF for me. Seeing witches, pagans, what not. So much judgmental thoughts came up. But I always remember "All are children of God", so should I judge God's creation? BUT of course we can judge harmful actions done by others. Although when really believing God is in control of all, sometimes I think "even this maybe I should not judge"That's a really good question for me as well, not just with Pope, but everybody I talk to. Though I never thought I was doing this for people to be saved, or converted, but for them to have access to the accurate knowledge in order to make a decision either way. With me I've been wondering, is it my ego more than anything?
I can't stand it when people don't agree with me. Don't learn from me. Don't listen to me. It seems to me that they are all, in one way or another, making up weird **** that doesn't make any sense just to avoid accurate knowledge. Either for science, tradition, the Church, the Watchtower . . . I sometimes wrestle with that. I try to respect other's beliefs, but I don't, really. I respect their right to believe but hate their beliefs. To be honest.
But for me the same. Not judging is the most difficult. Jesus didn't give the easiest job to us. I know I still have anger and hate in me. Probably that is the cause that I judge. And also knowledge and understanding. I met a yelling angry man. After hearing his mother dumped him age 1 month on the street, being taken by a man, who abused him his whole life. I stopped judging his bad mood and yelling and shouting.
If we just knew everything, the whole picture, we would judge much less is my experience in a few cases. But for me also 24/7 job to control this.
