    I couldn't help it! I'm out there now about it! A new 'apostate'.

    According to dictionary...

    One who has abandoned one's religious faith, a political party, one's principles, or a cause.

    toward the Jehovah's Witnesses.

    Shewww... It feels good. Weird I never thought I'd say that.

    As far as my belief system... I realize they are still going to be based on my up bringing as a Jehovah's Witness (morals included) so I call myself a Chirstian.

    {Gees it feels like I just hopped over the fence or something in the movie "Village" haha}

    ((I love my JW family and old friends, I know if they stay strong they will die with peace in mind, as for me I feel good with how things are going, love and peace be with them, it's on them as far as conscience goes I respect their beleifs and they respect mine))

    To the people on here,

    Thank you so much!!

    Feels good doesn't it. I 'jumped the tracks' myself... I used to be so afraid of the word apostate. Whichever road you choose, be it Christian or other, take the time to make sure it's right for you. Congrats!

    Just remember, that Jehovah's Witnesses primary activity, that of "preaching" is designed to get people to apostasize against their former faith.

    Converts to Jehovah's Witnesses are nothing more then the apostates that they claim to hate. Ridiculous. Enjoy your freedom with a dash of that irony.
