    I'm tired of being an apostate, atheist, agnostic, take your pick. I was going to start calling myself a heretic, but then I decided to look up apostate in the thesaurus. Look at all the lovely words we have to choose from:

    agitator, agnostic, alienated, apostate, atheistic, backslider, defector, demagogue, deserter, differing, disagreeing, disaffected, dissenter,dissenting, dissentive, dissident, experientialist, experimenter, frondeur, guerrilla, freethinking, heretic, heterodox, iconoclastic, independent, individualist, innovator, nonconformist, recreant, renegade, revisionist, schismatic, secessionist, sectarian, skeptical, subversive, unbelieving

    if I was sure what a "frondeur" is, I might call myself that. But I rather like freethinking, iconoclastic, independent, individualist, nonconformist. Maybe I'll stick with heretic.

    I like dissident. Wasn't that guy from Poland called a dissident, and became a big wig, after he got out of jail? Initials L. W. (I think) I'm not about to try to spell it.

    Or the guy from Africa, who became president. Mandela.

    So if I call myself a dissident, I may rise to be president of something.

    Most heretics are heroes, aren't they?

    I think you might have a new superhero, now.

    The JWD's HH Series.

    Call Neil Gaiman and give him my ideas.

    He won't listen to me, LOL.

    Being an apostate isn't so bad.

    It could be worse... you could be a Danny Haszard.

    Hey travel dude, that's not fair. Now I know you have never been a JW. (Lucky YOU)

    I have appointed you, Honorary ex/JW and Honorary Apostate.

    Now if you don't like your label, you can pick from the list. Thank you.
