First off, Moi - I'm not picking on you. My head has been spinning, and this quote of yours brought me back to that chatty homeless woman who was shot on the street. Yeah, it still bothers me - has nothing to do with you or anyone here.

In another thread, you said "It is clear in other scriptures that God expects us to make judgments, but they must be made with love."

Some relatives of this homeless woman came out of the woodwork and said the homeless woman suffered from epilepsy and became confused and irritable following her seizures. I hear that is common with epilepsy.

Again, IMO - a compassionate heart could have talked that woman through her confused state and discovered she suffers from epilepsy. A compassionate heart could have called an ambulance to care for her in a hospital instead of spitting in her face and calling an officer to cart her off to prison.

She's receiving treatment now, but she's also facing the death penalty.

So, yeah, if I'm going to judge someone I'll judge that woman boarding the bus. I'm aware it's not a judgment made with love for the woman boarding the bus, but I feel VERY sorry for that poor homeless woman suffering from epilepsy. I also feel VERY sorry for the policeman who had to take the call. I also feel VERY sorry for his fellow officers who had to open fire on the woman. I also feel VERY sorry for all the grieving family members.

On a selfish level, I know people won't bother to stop and think if they see me in a homeless state. If my husband dies and I do lose my home, do you really think I stand a chance of finding someone on the street who will judge me with love?

What does "judging with love" mean? Anyone care to give it a shot, so to speak?
