Question

Do people have the right to judge you on your past?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

No one has the right to judge any person on their past, present or future.  They are not above anyone.  

Answer 3

The best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour.

Make your future behaviour less of an issue and they won't have anything to judge you for.

Then they'll just say you're boring.

Answer 4

Of course they do, it's all there is to judge you by.

Answer 5

Would you feel comfortable being alone in a room with me if I were a convicted Serial Rapist?

Only the people who have something to hide dont want to be judged.

Answer 6

It's almost a given that it will happen. Even if you can stop them from saying something you can't stop what they think. The only real way to keep your past activities from effecting todays relationships is for YOU to not talk about them. They are your business.

If its parents doing it then you have to give them a lot of time to forget.

Answer 7

ofcourse they do. because depending on what you have done on the past determines where you are now.

Answer 8

NO, who are they to do that to me. They also have their own share of bad past experience too.

Answer 9

I really don't think it is right for people to judge us on our past because they are people too and they have a past. A lot of people do judge  others and it really should not happen.  

Answer 10

of course people will, regardless of whether you think they ought to have the right to or not.

it also really depends on what you've done in your past - it could have been anything! lol.

Answer 11

Judge...NO.....A thinker, and wise person, knows that your past actions, and how you dealt with your situations, has shaped you into the person you are today......A person cannot build character and have resolve and convictions, unless they have been in situations that are potentially harmful, shameful, embarrassing, etc. Call it sin, bad judgement, whatever....your past makes you a more interesting person, and quite possibly, a person to be respected....I have no repect for people that have never had a problem....or sinned, or done something terribly wrong....They would be LIARS.

Answer 12

No, God says not to Judge. We forgive and forget. He is the ultimate judge.
