Matthew 7:1-5
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Seriously. I remember when I was still going to meetings how JDubs with special status, like pioneer, aux pioneer, ministerial servant blah blah blah, would look down at you if you were "just" a publisher. But it went deeper than that! Sisters would judge my "spirituality" if my skirt was above the knee or below the knee and how much above the knee and how much below the knee. If I wore a skirt that was down to my ankles then suddenly Sister Backstabber would talk to me and ask how I was doing. If my skirt was above the knee she would ignore me as if I was not there even when I came over to say hi. It is not like I ever wore a miniskirt to the meeting! And then when the secretary would find out how many hours I did in service each month he would either be friendly or not friendly to me. I remember one time I filled out 15 hours on the slip to see what would happen. Suddenly I was invited by Brother Zealot secretary and his family to dinner. But if my time was below 5 hours then I was almost shunned. I even got marked by a whole family because I gave their daughter a usb stick with music on it they did not like. If I gave an answer at the meeting then I must be spiritual. If I did not answer then I was not spiritual. If I shook my head in agreement with everything the speaker was saying then I was spiritual. If I sat there quietly and thought about what he was saying then I was not spiritual. Tell me your stories. I know you all experienced this.
