What's the difference?

A minister watches DVD movies with his family and is open about it.

A minister watches DVD movies with his family and is closed about it.

Just because minister "A" is open about it, why does that make him worse than minister "B" that does the same thing, but doesn't talk about it?

Maybe minister "B" feels convicted about it but does it anyway - maybe that is why he hides it.

Or maybe minister B knows it really doesn't matter, but if it might be a stumbling block to someone else chooses to hide it????

I'd say minster B is being a hypocrit, especially if he teaches against it.

What if he doesn't teach against it, but knows that others around him do?

Was this something you just thought of off the top OR do you have specific names of persons you know of who fit this senerio ?
