On a serious note to your point I experienced the same thing for several years after leaving the Mothership. Even though intellectually and spiritually in study and prayer I knew what was right I would find myself (circa mid 1980's) judging guys by the length of their hair (over the ears = backslid or never saved), facial hair, etc. I didn't mean to but that was my instantaneous mental judgement upon seeing these guys. I would catch myself and be so aggravated at that psychological conditionig I had from the first 23 years of my life.

ChocolateCone,
I wear pants, cut my hair, and wear earrings, yet I will see someone who I know is Pentecostal who allows their young girls to dress in pants and come to church and inside, I'm shaking my head.
WHY?????
I come to church in pants sometimes!!!! I wear earrings and cut hair to church!!!!! I need a mirror in front of me everywhere I go so I only judge one person.
I hate that I do that.
I hate that I see a woman in church and believe her to be Apostolic....until I see that she trims her hair.
I hate that I see a woman on the street who appears to be Apostolic.....until I see that she has a necklace on.
I hate that I see a man in a church with facial hair and wonder if he's a first-time visitor.....until I see that he's actually an usher.
I hate that I see myself as a open minded individual who really believes in what the Bible says....until I see myself through my own eyes...a disappointment in God's eyes.
