I gotta agree with "Man from Utopia" on this one.
So many of the strict churches are the worst about judging people. We call them "Holier than thou" people because that's what they think of themselves.
Hypocrites.

I come from a family who has ALOT of apostolic pentecostal members in it. And I must admit, alot of the people from their churches do treat "outsiders" very rudely. Ok, Almost ALL of them. Something in their religion must teach them that if you arent one of them, you arent good enough. I never let it affect me. They will be the ones who have to answer God when the time comes. But they arent all that way. You sometimes will find a good seed mixed in with all the rotten apples.

Scripture says, we are to judge deeds, we even judge our teacher, test the spirit. Many times people are offended by someone who's pointed out a sinful
action or even a lifestyle and take it personal.
It is possable to hate the sin and love the sinner...God does.
