Would you want Jesus as a friend?
by scout575 inwhilst christians like to portray jesus as the supreme example of love and mercy ( as opposed to a supposedly wicked 'watchtower god' ), does the bible's presentation of jesus cast him in quite the same flattering light that christians like to believe?
for instance, at revelation 19:15 jesus is described as 'smiting the nations and ruling them with a rod of iron and treading the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of almighty god.
' does jesus sound just as bad as the 'wicked watchtower god'?

Is this Bible warning a valid one?
by scout575 inat hebrews 10: 26,27 the bible warns those who would consider leaving christianity: "for if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgement and a fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
" is the bible trustworthy in saying that those who leave christianity are certain to experience a dread of judgement by god?

"My Apostate Brother"
by scout575 in"i was put up against a wall the last years of my life, always depressed, hopeless and miserable.
even though i was married and had a family i was alone, no one to confide in, no one to turn to, always in fear that my doubt would be discovered and i would become an outcast ( more so ).
i was lucky enough to have my apostate brother refer me to this site.

"My Grief over Wasting 10 Years of My Life"
by scout575 in"ex-christians are angry because they are grieving... i voluntarily spent 10 years of my life pursuing a godly life.
my fantasy was that i was spending my time well and becoming a better person by following god.
my grief over wasting 10 years of my life, is grief over giving up the fantasy.".
