Maybe I should tell you or maybe I should not. The Holy Spirit will teach you
if you will listen to Him. HalleluYah !!!
You believe somebody is a "Christian" if he believes everything exactly like you do.
That must be a pretty small circle!
Do you recall the incident in the Bible where the disciples came back and told Jesus: "There were some guys preaching the gospel but they didn't do it exactly like we do!" Jesus told them "don't stop them! He that is not against us is for us!" That sort of pretty widens the circle, doesn't it.

This shows me you do not understand these scriptures. So How can you really
be a Christian? Maybe a baby Christian at best. But I have my doubts. I'll
let you work it out yourself. So, pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit.
Proverbs says you cannot help a fool.

I guess if people speak openly, as you say, then that person that said that
Christians consider me an embarrassment could let you know. Maybe,
Proper Knob knows for on the Chess Forum he said that my fellow Christians
consider me a disgrace. However, he believes JWs are Christians.

Some people say that I am an embarrassment to the Christians on this forum.
There was one Christian in the past that said I should tone down the way I
present Christianity. I have made an effort to do that. Sometimes I forget.
However, I was wondering how many Christians look at me with embarrassment.
