JUDGEMENTS
World Church sees judgement as NECESSARY, and something WE ALL DO, regardless if we admit that we do it, or if we do it unconsciously or not.
Jesus Said "don't judge, unless you want to also be judged"
This simply means: "If you judge, expect to be judged." No where in this sentence does it say judgment is "Bad."
It continues on to say "in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
It may have meant not to judge someone as bad or good, hypocritically; for instance, not to judge someone as bad when you might do the same or worse, or else expect they will turn that same critical eye on you.
So that if you judge someone on something, they and others will likely judge you in the exact same way. This is not necessarily a bad thing.
The bible also endorses judging:

The bible also endorses judging:
It is clear that in the bible, judging is seen as a Godly and Jesus like activity:
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ." -Corinthians 5:10
If one is supposed to be Godly and Christlike, we can judge, and should judge.

Why is Judging OK?
We all judge, and not just in a court of law.
It may be impossible to survive without judging, which is simply the act of "forming an opinion."
Without discerning between things, how would we judge what is a poisonous berry, and which one is healthy?
We all make judgements in our lives all the time. This is how we make choices. Do you not judge whether it is better to take the stairs or the elevator?
If one tries not to judge at all, they will fall into a limbo of being incapable, and will become totally powerless against others' opinions.
Rather than that, the World Church asks us to accept others' judgements, ADD to our judgments (see below) and keep our judgements as strong as others' judgements.
Then, we can allow others to have their judgements (opinions) while keeping our own, and foster not only tolerance, but balance.
This will help create an environment of more understanding, and acceptance that others simply have differing likes and dislikes (judgements).
Think about it this way:
If one poisonous snake faces another poisonous snake, they are both equally powerful and now at a stand off. A truce forms. Eventually, understanding of the other forms. After that, love might even bloom.
The World Church asks that we recognize more levels of judgements for better communication, to strengthen our opinions and to allow our judgements to be equal to others, and allow others to be themselves to find tolerance and balance with each other.
FORGIVENESS FOR JUDGEMENTS
If one person's judgements hurts our feelings, we should instantly remember that we also hold equally powerful judgements that will wound the other person.
Therefore, we can forgive the other person for their judgement, knowing that we have one which is equally as damaging and powerful. We all hold these powerful, harmful, and damaging judgments.
They should be kept near and dear to us for our self protection, not suppressed and squashed.
As one would know after being ghosted, being blunt and honest is a mercy, having information withheld is cruelty.
Here are some of the other levels and additional judgments the World Church would like to add to the world:
(see the bottom of the page for visual explainers of these items)
Good Ugly Bad Ugly
Bad Pretty Good Pretty
Good Crazy Bad Crazy
Good Handsome Bad Handsome
Good Stupid Bad Stupid
Bad Happy Good Sad
Good Bad Bad Good
Good Old Bad Old
Good Love Bad Love
Good Dark Bad Light
...etc...
By accepting and allowing more judgements, not less, we will be able to communicate better and have less fights and misunderstandings.
ONCE WE UNDERSTAND THAT VALUE JUDGEMENTS ARE NOT INTRINSIC, BUT THAT WE ADD THE VALUES, AS OPINIONS, WHICH CHANGE CONSTANTLY, WE CAN START TO SEE THAT THE VALUES/JUDGEMENTS ARE MEANINGLESS AND ARE NOT STATIC.
FOR INSTANCE, SOMETHING BEING PRETTY WILL JUST BE A THING, LIKE A ROCK IS A THING. IT WILL NOT BE A VALUE, SUCH AS GOOD OR BAD. PERHAPS, ONE CAN HOPE, IT WILL ALL START TO BE SEEN --------- AS GOOD. ALL GOOD.
And in fact, it may be impossible to have good without the bad. For one helps us see the other. Otherwise, all would be MONOTONE, or MONOTONY (and boring).
The Church hopes that one day, instead of the current labels and judgements, which are far too pinned to one side of "GOOD" or "BAD," that we simply say "I like how you look" or "I like how you are" or "I understand you." As was said in the film Avatar, I SEE YOU. They didn't need labels in that culture.
VISUAL EXPLAINERS
Below are some visual and text explainers to help people who have previously been brainwashed to think there is only one judgment or one side to words and concepts (such as that ALL pretty means is GOOD), to understand there is more than one judgement. The words shouldn't even be used interchangeably (ie: to mean good) because the value is actually totally separate, we add the values. To not separate the values, judgements, opinions, and to make things blanket stereotyped statements (like pretty =good, ugly = bad, handsome is almost nonexistent in our language) causes extreme pain, sexism, classism, and more.
NOTE: these are just EXAMPLES and the people in the photos have NOTHING to do with the image's label or text, it's simply a visual explainer to help you understand the idea of ADDING MORE VALUES, MORE JUDGEMENTS, AND MORE OPINION to things for better communication and more happiness with who we are and who we choose to be over time.
Also the images are stereotypes and will not match all people's opinions but this is done to help explain it to you.
IN FACT, society already messes around with value judgments, which is why there is so much slang like:
THAT'S SICK! ---> meaning good
THAT'S BAD! ----> meaning good

WHEN SOMEONE IS CALLING YOU UGLY, OLD, STUPID, CRAZY, ETC. REMEMBER - ONE PERSON'S BAD CAN BE ANOTHER PERSON'S GOOD. ANOTHER WOULD LIKE HOW YOU ARE, OR YOU CAN CHANGE IF YOU WANT TO. THEN THERE WILL BE SOMEONE ELSE WHO LIKES YOU.

Can you imagine telling someone who wants a dark makeup shade, that darkness is bad, and snatching it out of their hand? But that's what these crazy simplistic judgement value sets we have been brainwashed into, are doing to us; they are causing RACISM, SEXISM, AGEISM, AND MORE!
Some people may fight what World Church is teaching above, that there are MORE judgements (values, opinions) to everything, because they are scared, having been taught just two controlled and simplistic choices called GOOD AND BAD.... but these very same people will flip their values on you and add judgements without even realizing they are doing this.
It's like a person who uses sayings to say:
"Birds of a feather flock together"
then in the next breath they will say
"Opposites attract"
Since they always feel they are right and can't themselves see that they are stating and believing in opposites, their brain won't allow them to see that they are being complex and that nothing is simple at all because things change, including our value judgements/perceptions.
ALSO... others who see that the values we place on others and on things aren't static, are the ones messing with the minds of those others who see things in more simple one or the other way, terms. So, we either learn that values aren't static, or we let those others whip our minds around with news and other media which trains our mind the way the slave masters and slave mistresses WANT US TO PERCIEVE AND WANT US TO BE.
Skilled movie and TV writers can mess around easily with these dynamics and do so all the time, using tactics to make us hate or love one character or another, and then flipping it on us later in the show.
Don't you think these same tactics are used on you in the news and media for our world show?

THE JOKER AND MALEFICENT TEACH US THAT WE ARE NOT STATIC, NEITHER GOOD NOR BAD; WE ARE DYNAMIC, AND WE CHANGE.
