Looking down your nose at the 'sinners'. To busy just watching to find all the many specks in other's eyes. I have many relatives who are like this and can't stand to be around them. I avoid my family because of this, but that is probably not right either. But truth be known, I'd rather be around a beer-guzzling, swearing, joint-smoking self-admitted sinner than around someone who thinks they have the right to continually judge. Am I being self-righteous in saying that?? Hmmm. Not sure.

It's a battle till the day I die, too. I will continually cling to the Savior to keep me from this vile sin.

Cats, I have such a hard time believing YOU of all people have a problem struggling with this. You exude humbleness and servanthood and LOVE and seem to be the first to say "I cannot judge". All I can say is, you must be doing a good job in your struggle, because I never would have guessed.

Self-righteousness is comparing other's shortcomings to ourselves and failing to recognize the weakness in ourselves.

Amen sister! You hit the nail on the head.

I understand that, artsylady! Don't know whether that's being self-righteous or not, but I understand that feeling.

Drives me crazy Calamity. I guess as someone here mentioned, I should pray for them. And that's the beauty of prayer - I can avoid them and pray for them at the same time!!
