It's usually because a person has been judged by someone who turns out to be a hypocrite. The Pastor of our church has a brother who had this woman jump all over him about the way he was living his life, I think about going out drinking and whatnot. Well, come to find out, she was having an adulterous affair. I think that she was supposed to be some kind of leader in the church as well, I'm not sure though. Either way, that effected his brother to the point that he doesn't attend a church anywhere now because of it. It does happen. But for these people who aren't grounded and rooted in Christ, it can be enough to turn them away forever. The devil will use that situation to become a root of all kinds of bondage in one's life.
That doesn't seem to be uncommon. I've found that the ones making the loudest noise about sin in another person's life usually is hiding something as bad or worse. I used to think that such people would keep quiet and avoid drawing any attention to themselves but, to my amazement, they usually pronounce the biggest condemnation. But when they are revealed, they expect to be treated special, unlike the way they were toward others in the same sin.
