I don't know about multiple accounts, but some don't want to let their real identity known, like me, because of the trouble it would cause their families when the spies from their present or past church read their posts.

Sometimes I want to just give up being secret, but I love my family too much to hurt them. My old church even prints out posts from people that have left, estimate who posted, and uses them for Sunday service discussions.

Re: Paranoid?

Well, some here may not agree with me on some of the things I post but I have only had one identity since coming here. I use the name Sam but I also use my real name.

I have an advantage over some of the others here. I don't have to be afraid that my pastor or family members or other Christians might find out what I really believe. I try to be very open here with my opinions but present them as my opinions.

Oh no, you misunderstood. They KNOW it is someone who LEFT their church, thus left God. They use us as examples of people who have left God, are enemies of "the church" etc. For those family members that are still there, having to listen to people tearing their family members that have left apart, it is H-E-double toothpicks. I love my family, don't want them to suffer just because I don't believe they are the only church one can be saved at.

You got that right! They really stress the part about working your salvation out with fear and trembling! LOL If all the "Jesus in the flesh" leaders don't think you are right with God, you tremble that you will be separated from your family. Some kids get sent away to relatives in other states before they are 18 years old, just because they don't fit the mold. Very sad place.

Sadly, that is true in many cases - not all.
