If someone ask you personally "Are you an apostate?", How would you answer them?

who is asking? my Best friend calls her and her husband drifters, and me and mine JW apostates. and we call each other the dirty "A" word joking. we laugh and think its funny. but anyone if anyone else were to ask i would have to say "no"... because i love my family and would rather not be the anti-Christ to them.
Its just that the word has changed so much for me. it always was a horrible thing. i always herd "they are just angry hate filled people" "they are miserable and they want us to be miserable" "they are crazy and speak false about "the truth" and God" "they are sneaky and sly"... REALLY???? wouldn't that be.... um.... the organization its self that does that. I don't know about you guys but i'm NOT Miserable or hate filled. I LOVE Most of the JWs and feel bad for them for not being able to see, for being worse than slaves 'cause they PAY to be slaves to the watchtower. and my sense to humor is wonderful now and what really carries me threw. all the apostates that i have seen, and know of, speak WAY more Truth about "the truth" than the organization ever have in the 26 years i went to all the meeting. nad they are happier and funny!

I would say "an apostate is a person who disagrees with a religion they once trusted. Yes I am an Apostate to the Jehovah's Witnesses because they are a cult."

Why let someone else define what u are? I have invested a lifetime in a religion that is filled with errors......like every other religion.....I would say NO!!
The WT can can their beliefs, but I can't?
I spoke to a devout christian friend once and he mentioned that everyone in his church did not share all the same beliefs.....It's was NOT a big deal.
Encouraging!! (sorry for the errors, in a hurry!!)
