OK
Now we have clarity.
I am not sure why you would think that but at least now I hear what you were trying to say
Probably what you learned was referring to a specific group. Meaning One of two things
1) all satMar do….. So that would be wrong because you are casting aspersions on a specified group of people
2) see that group over there? They…….
That would also be wrong. And really for the same reason.
Basically your negative conjecture is landing on an undeserved recipient.
(I’m not sure where judging favorably comes in, In those scenarios as you are not ”judging ”
By definition, judging takes place after the fact)
In this case though, Josef did nothing of the sort. He spoke about those who watch or defend those who watch.
So here the group has self rejected.
He has made a judgement call about an act.
If he is correct that it’s an abhorrent act, then anyone who chooses to do that act, has chosen to enter that group.
If he is wrong, well then call him out on his judgement by explaining why he is wrong.
But the key is that he was not judging people.
(this is leaving out the whole other topic of whether it’s proper to judge someone who is clearly knowingly doing something wrong, favorably)
