During my reading of recent threads I am more confused than ever as to who the "real christians" are.
The JW's claim that christians are not actually the real christians , while not claiming that title for themselves either.
I have my own ideas on who the real christians are, but I would appreciate it if someone could explain to me who the real christians are and why.

-Removed-Because I am genuinely interested where this line of inquiry will lead.
I would like to know if most think in broad terms (like stoker -see above) or if they are more strict with their interpretation.
Also I would like to know how the JWs fit into the picture- what others think of them and what they think of themselves.
(If this does not interest you then just dont read or respond. No skin of my back.)

Not that anyone is depending on my opinion.

I have only known of a few others that consider the opinion of people alive now more important than opinions form the past. After all, who knows how potentially corrupted the info is from ages ago. Your opinion is more fresh and hence more vital (in my way of thinking) for forming my view of the world. So thanks, sincerely 🙂
