Judgementalists are people who use the bible to judge and condemn. They use excerpts from it to hammer you with it, hoping to make you suffer or cringe in fear.
Was that what the teachings of Jesus say to do?

No, I couldn't imagine becoming one.
But I love the ones who are. The types like Ted Haggard (and probably most others) who are secretly living the lives which they judge so harshly. Gotta love irony.

If being a "judgementalist" follows the Biblical definitions of "to judge," yes, then it appeals to me.
If you have questions about what the teachings of Jesus say to do ..... then you need to read and understand all the teachings that Jesus/God gave us in the Bible. Then .... if you still need to ask this question, ask away.
Were Jesus and his disciples "judgementalists?" If you follow today's idea of the phrase "to judge," yes, they were. They pointed out when people were doing something wrong, spiritually and ritualistically. They told people how to become saved by giving up their sinful ways. They pointed out the evil in their world. They always pointed out the way out too.
Today, they would be said to be "judgementalists." Those who would call them that would be what I call "Pansy Arsed Christians," Christians of low conviction to the Lord. They are the "fair weather fans of Christ."
Sorry if that offends ..... but sometimes we need to be offended.

I am a Bible believing Christian and I stand very seriously before my God, because I know better. So, why would I want
to judge anyone when I know I would be heaping judgment
upon myself. Listen, I cringe and fear before my HOLY God and
I know He loves me, but He is Justice and Righteousness too.
I know I am a big "0" without out HIM in my life.
There is also discernment that the Lord give us and we use
that so we can stay away from harmful mistakes that can
bite us in the A**!

Of course not. His message and essence is purely love. Condemnation was clearly condemned. Same for judgement. For now. You should be afraid of Hell, if you believe in it, yet not in Jesus.

I don' believe so, Jesus was the one to say, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
and no man is sin free.
it's like any messiah, or profit.
They teach morals, and then humanity takes it to the extreem.
God says though shalt not judge, so the judgemental, are comitting a pretty big sin.

Nope, but your avatar sure does... ;-)
Actually people who use Christianity to judge others are missing the whole point, and do themselves and other Christians a disservice.

I am a Christian but I really hope to never be a judgementalist. I have my beliefs and I will not push them down your throat or view you as less than me if we do not agree.

Inspired material was made for just what it says: TO INSPIRE. Not to beat somebody in the head with.
Meanwhile, if you let these parinoid, morally weak people get to you, they win. I just humor them and walk away.

No, it doesn't appeal to me and no that's not what the teachings of Jesus say to do.
