You ARE judging -- judging businesses open and
It IS judgementalism at it's finest.
You think because someone doesn't agree with YOUR views, that THEY should have to work on that day, simply because of views.
You think that because someone might celebrate Christmas on Dec 20 due to family/schedule issues, that THEY shouldn't be able to live a normal life on Dec 25.
Very, very judgemental and extremely limited in perspective.
I understand you are Pentecostal. I'm more than familiar with that denomination. It has nothing to do with any of the topics you state. It just makes a bigger emphasis in my mind of WHY you think like you do. Sad.
I hope you have a good day. I'm thankful I am not like you. You don't make me want to be in any way. How's that for being an example and drawing others to Him? You're repelling, not drawing.
Go have yourself a great religious day.
huh? Judge Judy's been a FAMILY COURT judge...

Where did you get that I was judging anyone?
I'm not judging anyone, ks. And, I don't get what you're talking about regarding "spewing the word from your mouth and acting differently behind closed doors". I try to be humble in my faith. As I said, I may not agree with a person's lifestyle, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be respectful to him/her. God put us on this Earth to do HIS work or genuinely didn't you know that? This thread was about what stores wouldn't you shop at and I replied that I wouldn't shop at WalMart because they sell gay/lesbian material. That is because I do not agree with it because I believe the scripture referring to homosexuality as being sinful, ungodly, and an abomination.
I don't know where you got that I was judging YOU or your son in law. sm
I never said anything disparaging about you. The worst I said about him was that it sounded like he was underprepared (you didn't give a big history on his work experience other than that he was new to cold call sales, which is what I commented on).
I certainly didn't judge him for taking a job, only questioned if it was the right job for him.
And where did you get that I thought it was "nonsense?" I never said that, never implied that.
I DID give you suggestions that YOU could do to ease your mind...you really can find a LOT of your needed info simply by Googling. That wasn't a demeaning response, it was truthful...I checked it out before I suggested it.
I kicked NO ONE when they were down.
I am not judging, if I were then I
would talk to her about her excessive alcohol use, her marijuana use and on and so forth. I am not past talking with, but frankly I have felt she is very judgemental, critical of me and just does not even take the time to know me as I am. I do not ever get in her life, stay on 1 side of town and she on the other. Just like she said walking on egg shells, that has been my take on her for a very long time.
No, you won't change me otherwise. I'm not judging
the Bible. God will judge in the end. I simply don't shop at stores that sell gay and lesbian items.
I agree...too much judging others. nm

Are you judging her mother by what
she told you or personal experience?
and not judging you at all-happy that you (sm)
have not experienced the horrible guilt that many of us have. Some do and some do not, but it is a risk...you don't know for sure how you will feel until later. It is sort of a knee-jerk reaction oftentimes, to try to quickly "solve the problem" but many people have terrible guilt years later and have to get help with it.
Judging people I don't know:
If you're one of the sickos who defend their right to abuse children because it's their religion, you deserve to be judged along with them.
I'm not judging you but with there being so many women who do (sm)
have terrible guilt and remorse after ABs it would seem that there should be more involved to get one, at least a visit with an unbiased psychiatrist who tells the full story of how one might feel later. I had someone say to me, "Now this is your decision right? Later on you don't get to blame anyone else, not your boyfriend, not your friends, no one else." I said I wouldn't and that was the extent of my counseling. This was in the mid-90s. I think you should have to go apply for one, be given a counseling session, wait a week or two, and see if that is still what you want to do. I think women should be given extensive information on all of their options and possible emotional repercussions so that at least when they make their own personal "choice" at least it is a well-informed choice. For me it is not so much guilt toward God as it is to the child I allowed to be killed. It is not a religious thing at all.
No one is judging a dog. Dogs
don't know right from wrong. They are animals. The point that I continue to make is that IT DOES NOT MATTER what this elderly man did. The pets in the home attacked and killed him. No PET should ever be capable by temperament of attacking and killing a human being.
For the sake of your argument, if the man reached out with a cane and rapped the dog on the head, in your mind would that justify the reactions of the dog to kill the person who struck him? How many other dog breeds would run behind the couch or under a table when confronted with abusive treatment? How many other dog breeds would growl? Bark? Nip? Bite? No one is saying that an animal should not defend itself, but a dog whose defense is to kill a human is a dog that should NOT be kept as a pet. A dog is an animal and does not think like a human, as you have pointed out, and that is precisely the thing that makes them unpredictable and makes the pitbull breed attacked unprovoked. It is all in what the dog perceives as a threat, which a human cannot always predict, or more importantly, cannot always prevent.

Stop judging people who you do not know
Not judging honey, believe me, I speak...
my mind and you could tell if I was judging others. This place is teeming with unhappy, whining, complaining women (just look at some of the posts all over this site) and that is not a judgement, it is fact. As far as being in the same situation as others one day, if you read any of my posts you would see that I have been there, done that and changed my ways. Should something happen, we have learned to save money, have enough put away to last a year and not have to touch any retirement, etc. That took a lot of determination and hard work on our part and we are proud of it.
I am get a good chuckle out of some women who accuse other women of "living off their husbands" and "where would you be without his money". I can make my own money, but my husband doesn't tell me that i need to work and doesn't tell me how much I need to make. He is the provider in this family and has never once asked me to work harder, earn more or get a different job. Remember when men used to do that and our mother's stayed home and raised the family and didn't work? Are you jealous of your girl friends or family members that don't have to work or who live debt free or do you hold that judgement for those you do not know?
Enough of this for now. I'm sure someone will have something to bash me about later on...go ahead, it just shows how very immature some women can be.
Yeah, that would make me ill. I am not judging you by any means sm
as to the whys of your son living with them. If you were married to a husband like mine and then had 3 boys totally dedicated to sports - when it comes to that I have NO SAY whatsoever about my 3 sons playing ball. Their dad takes care of all of that. I don't think I'd let them move away and I don't my husband would either, BUT, if they did and my ex sister in law was the way you describe yours to be, then I'd be very upset too!
Right now I don't get along with my in laws. At all. Never have. And to imagine that one of my boys living with them. Ugh. Makes me ill just thinking about that.
What the he## is her problem with you any way? I mean, seriously? If she had any sense whatsoever she would smile, be sweet, and only say nice things about you ALWAYS.
Listen, hon. Trust me on this one. Your son will grow up and see her true colors and resent her if she continues to spew hate or not like you, etc. You are his mom. I know my boys would be the same if anyone disrespected me like that. I mean, their own dad can't even look at me wrong before they are all over him like you know what.
Let the natural thing just happen. Do the right thing. Say the right thing. Be there for him, always. Ask about his aunt. Be a huge part of his life even if he isn't there with you. Call often. And if she continues to be a twit, then you will be the winner in the end, even though right now it may not feel like it.
Good luck.
Someone who is atheist clearly is not going to Heaven. No judging, just stating fact as
per the Holy Bible.
I wasn't judging, just stating the facts ma'am....
these were things that were mentioned in the trial. And the baby and the methadone thing was accused by Larry B, I think he would know if she was taking methadone, and she was on something, we all know that.
Well I guess it is a pretty sensational story judging by the media coverage!

To judge or not to judge
Sometimes I think it is REALLY difficult to go through life without being judgemental.
Judge Judy Says...
Just from what I've seen, if it is in your possession, then you assume due care and protection of the property. You are responsible. Doesn't matter if hubby was too tired to unload. I'd stil make a police report stating it was stolen from their home to document details. then I'd take them to small claims court. Sounds like if the situation were reversed, your sister would already have a lawyer!
judge not lest ye be judged I always say.....nm
judge not lest ye be judged..........
the judge....an embarrassment to many
I live in Florida and I am so ashamed of this judge on this case - the circus that HE seems to want with the media for his measley 15 minutes of fame. It is very unfortunate because he makes all people of his culture/religion look REALLY bad. I'm totally ashamed of him........
they tried to get rid of this judge in 2004...
Judge Seidlin Takes Center Stage In Smith Trial
(CBS) FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. He's known to be the no-nonsense judge sorting out the claims for Anna Nicole Smith's body, but Judge Larry Seidlin has left many wondering about him and his courtroom antics.
For the past two weeks, the international media has watched the Broward County judge's handling of the dispute over Anna Nicole's body.
"It's a piece of paper that's purported to be a will, that causes me to lose more hair than I have already lost," said Seidlin on Tuesday, as he looked at paperwork provided by Howard K. Stern's legal team.
Comments such as this one have some in the legal community questioning how the judge handled this case. Seidlin has more than 20 years of experience as a judge.
Some of the expressions he used when handling the case left him apologizing, such as when he referred to Anna Nicole's body last week as "my baby." He later apologized for that comment and has since taken a more serious stance when talking about the body.
"We want to give respect and peace to Ms. Smith's body," he said this week.
Nonetheless, this is not the first time that Seidlin's behavior has been questioned. In 2004, a poll of the bar association showed that 20 percent of lawyers didn't think he was qualified for the job, putting him at the bottom of the list of judges in the county.
Seidlin, a native New Yorker, paid for his way through law school by driving a taxi and was appointed in 1989 as a circuit judge. In 1978 he was elected as a county judge, making him one of the youngest judges to be elected, at age 28.

Okay, now what was up with the judge *crying*
I have never in my life seen or heard of a judge breaking down and crying like that. It just got more bizarre by the minute. I seriosly think he has some sort of mental disorder. WOW!
What about going on one of the judge shows?
I heard they pay the plantiff on the spot :)
I like the judge shows too, --sm
'specially Judge Judy. I like it when she starts telling people they are i*d*i*o*t*s, and the like. I really don't know why some of those people would even WANT to go on there and be subjected to her wrath! Talk about an anger personality! wheee.
Maybe you should not judge other people!!!
for 17 years. So, please do not judge me without knowing me.
Need advice/please don't judge me
First of all...I want to say what happened was not intentional and in fact I am quite ashamed. I do not condone extramarital affairs in any way. I have been cheated on and I know what it does to a family.
I met this man via the internet last year while searching for information regarding my brother and his death in the VN war. I ended up getting in contact with a handful of my brother's platoon commrades and went through the grieving process of finding out about their ambush, how many were killed, who was injured, etc.
One of the men in particular I bonded with and I did not set out to do this. It started out as casual chats about my brother and ended up going into everything under the sun. I had no idea he was married. He talked about his ex-wife a few times and their past issues, but no mention of a current wife.
We chat primarily by email and some on the phone. He would have me call him at his office. I did call him at home once, but he was waiting for my call. I started to feel a lot for him, I think like a close brother at first as I was looking to fill the shoes of my deceased brother maybe..I don't know. I did the Google thing on him and of course I found him. He is rather important in his community and profession and has been in the media. I googled his number and found it was under a woman's name. The next time I called him I jokingly asked..."So how's your wife?" and he replied..."What about my wife?" My heart sunk. I would ask about her and he would only respond with "She's a good woman." Within about a week's time he asked me to stop emailing him at home and that I could email his office email or call him there. He said his wife was giving him funny looks about the emails. None of the emails were naughty or anything like that...actually casual, etc. I just felt like our friendship had to be a secret or something.
Getting to the point...we have not met in person, but I am so in love with him. He treats me wonderfully, cares about me, makes me very happy and I have not felt this way about anyone in a very long time. I am a single mom. I was not looking to fall for him but I have. He is 20 years my senior but that does not matter to me. He has said had we met 10 years ago he would have snatched me up. I believe his marriage is rocky, as he stated there had been some tension, but he never goes into detail and I don't push him. We continue to talk every week for lengthy periods of time...yes he is at work and does work, but I cannot reveal his employment. He has spoken of meeting in the future and that is that. He knows how I feel about him and he does not say that he loves me, but I am sure he cares about me to the extent that he can and still be faithful.
The problem is that our friendship will end as soon as he retires in early 2008, as I will have no way of communicating with him anymore. I can email him at home as long as it is VN-related. He has become such an important part of my life that I think about him all of the time and pray that some day he will be single so that he can be with me. I am content with just a friendship because we are long-distance. What I am devastated about is that the "light of my life" will be gone once he has retired. I have told him this and he responds by saying, "you are strong...you will make it." The problem is that I don't think I am strong enough. I really need his friendship. I cannot explain to you without going on and on about what our conversations are like, but we laugh all the time and share common interests and there are some really eerie coincidences. I believe my brother brought him into my life for a reason. Since he has been in my life, it has been the best year ever and I have evolved into a better person.
What do I do to keep our friendship? What do I do to keep contact with him? I truly do not think I will be able to get along without him. He is a strength to me like I have never had. I am so depressed because I do not want to lose him. I know I seem crazy and immoral, but really I am not. I am really confused. I let down my guard with him. I have no regrets other than I wish he were single.
Help me..don't judge me..anyone else go through something like this and if so how did you survive it? I respect your opinions. Thank you.

It's so easy to judge...
people when you think you have all the answers. Isn't it? What happens when one hits rock bottom? I'm too old to stroll out and "just get another job". I feel totally worthless and alone. I am at the point of considering suicide.
At what point did I judge or condemn? Because
is a sin means that I have judged people? No, you have misinterpreted what I have posted. If any Believer comes to God and asks for forgiveness of his or her sins, those sins will be washed away. Read my posts again. I never judged anyone. I know that only God can judge. But, I can choose not to shop at stores that support homosexuality as I believe and follow what the Bible says, which is homosexuality as being sinful.
Laughing? That judge is a moron.
Glad you found his humor to be comical.
The judge may be a goof buttttt
In the end Anna nicole will be buried with her son and be able to be close to her baby girl
Have been approached by 3 of the judge shows before but
you and the other have to consent to both appear. Judge Judy, Joe Brown and Judge Mathis have all contacted me. It is a win-win situation for the people because the shows pay if you win so the defendant (as in my case) if losing would win because if found in my judgement, the judge show would pay. This was a previous case, not this particular 1. Each show has runners that go to the court houses and pull the different cases, that is how they get their clients.
The judge tosses her in jail - sm
Hope the link works. Pretty unbelievable story.
Thank you so much - some of us are quick to judge and offer
I really appreciate those who have give good advice and hope to help my DD. To those who suggested it was too late, 22 is just the beginning of life IMO, especially if you have been in college and the like. For reasons I do not care to go into, my DD could not work while going to school and so now that she has her own money, well you can figure it out!
Heard the judge he just saw today
is a dog lover. Hope the same judge gives him the MAX. Yes, agree a piece of CRAP. He should have to endure the same thing he put those poor dogs through. It just blows my mind.
Judge Judy says an accident is just that and not
x
I'm not going to judge you. I've been there in the sense that sm
I had to be the other woman telling the other man to "get over me, I'm married." I would say you definitely sparked an interest in his life and it's probably been "fun" for him to know that he still "has what it takes." ALL men want to be someone's hero and you were/are his cheerleader - if he's been married for any length of time and he's getting to intimate in conversation with you then I can guarantee that she's probably no longer his cheerleader. Men need that. I know exactly what happened between you two as it happens every single day.
Sometimes the men (and women) who meet other people (whether at work, on line, etc) will go even further than this man has gone and will meet up with you, sleep with you and try to carry on a relationship with you for as long as they can get away with it. It is wrong and dangerous. I believe you do have very strong feelings for him.
The reality is this: He is married. Happily? Who knows. It's still wrong. You must, and I repeat, must pick up your dignity, look at your beautiful face in the mirror and say, "There is an available man out there who would love to love me! Lord, help me find him. I deserve it!" And you do. We all do.
Morally, ethically, anyway you look at this, it is wrong. Even if he were to leave his wife for you, you would be considered an adulter in the eyes of God for stealing another man's wife. You are NOT AN ADULTERER. You are a beautiful woman who deserves her own man.
Good luck to you. Do the right thing. As painful as it will be, you will be blessed if you let him go. He can't be had right now.
Well, maybe, just like I think the mayor should never write a judge
telling what kind of role model Michael Vick was to the chldren in Atlanta? How much he gave to the community? The news paper printed her entire letter and I was shocked to know she met with Vick after he was charged and then wrote a dang letter to the judge. Whatever he accomplished so far he has blown it in his murderous ways as far as I am concerned. I guess she is just not into animals.
You should never judge people like you just did and say things sm
spiteful like that. Would you say these things to her or to someone like that face to face? Shame on you for being rude like that. It's so easy to beat on people when they are down. Calling someone's post the most ignorant post you've ever read and calling her selfish was very mean spirited.
Thanks for being judge and jury on my situation, since you know it so well...
a few facts for you: She hardly led a horrible life, she was adopted by a fairly wealthy family and had a great life (this is straight from her, I'm not speculating), she has siblings that she loves very much.
For someone such as yourself to judge me as heartless is going a bit too far. She was the one who found me, contacted me one day out of the blue after finding EVERYTHING about me on the internet, even knew when and where I went on vacation to see my family, knew when my father passed away, etc. It was my decision to give her up for adoption and it should be my decision on when and where we meet. She wants info on her birth father, which I have a bit of, but it isn't my place to disrupt his life by giving her this info. I have no problem in having a relationship with her, but things like this need to start slowly, not just jump into the fire and hope not to get burned.
You can speculate and create a back story to your own liking, but until you have been in the situation, you wouldn't know a thing about it.
Jesus himself taught us not to judge others - let he who is without sin (sm)
cast the first stone. None of us has any right to say anything about how anyone else is living. We need to take care of the log in our own eye.... remember?
God doesn't judge animals.
I don't judge animals. Animals don't know right from wrong. They are merely animals and they act on instinct. If an animal possesses an instinct to kill a human when there is no threat, then that animal should be put down. The life of a human is infinitely more valuable than the life of an animal. Somehow it doesn't seem like you believe that.
You can never judge a book by its cover, can you? sm
Simply amazing. Gave me goose bumps. Her voice is pure joy. Love it every time I hear it!!!
There may be one judge, but the Bible is quite clear that any person
who denounces God will not go to Heaven. I am very comfortable in the fact that I have salvation.
