Judging righteously or being judgemental

OK...So, if a man who is married with small children, professes Christ and does public things for "Christian causes", yet pursues and sleeps with other women, while bar-hopping...what do you say/do?

If another man, constantly cusses people out and treats anyone who can't 'benefit' him like trash, yet he gives his time & money to 'good causes', what do you say/do?

Do you pat these men on the back and laud their 'generosity' & good deeds?

P.S. My first hypothetical has nothing to do with Ron Hunter, btw. Different person/example.

I believe Jesus calls those white washed tombs. 

So, Jesus called those people out.

And that gets to my point/question. Should we?

Of course. Didn't Paul do the same in his letters to the churches he started?

Here is an interesting take on the subject.

I think the most important part of his argument is:

No one bothers to quote the whole verse because it doesn’t condemn judging at all. Whatever standard you use to judge someone you should expect that same standard to be used on you.

Hopefully some one else calls me out if I do something wrong. I will do the same for my friends.

Edit: Obviously you would talk to people privately... you shouldn't do it publicly.
