Theos-Talk Archives (October 2006 Message tt00342)

Dear Friends,

Those who promote slanders also "judge" and "condemn" the slandered people.  

On the other hand, those who apparently "judge" the slanderer, may be  just defending HPB or William Judge from their slanderers, to put an example.   

And those who "defend" the slanderer of HPB usually "judge" and "condemn" those who defend HPB, or William Judge,  from the traitors.


People who attack those they consider  "judgemental people" can be sometimes agressive. 

Just as slanderers are judgemental towards the ones they slander, although they are so in a disguised way.  


Regards,   Carlos.
