  This is what the quote should have said:

  ++
  “The Society speculates regarding spiritual matters but also to give bad advice, spread gossip and false information, plant negative ideas, and disseminate private interpretations of Scripture. “

  just think it could have stated the above and it would have been 100% correct

  how sad

  I have mentioned this before and don't want to seem like an idiot but..
  Could someone give me the DEFINITION of an apostate(my mother recently called me one) Sorry you are talking to a JW raised kid that didn't even believe in dinosaurs until a couple years ago(still have doubts)

  mommy,
  this isn't a society def, but a more literal def (not word for word)
  "Anyone who abandons their previous religious beliefs."

  OK Amicus I will buy that, but what I remember(long time ago)Apostates were devil worshippers trying to steer the "flock" away. I have NEVER said an untoword towards the WTBTS to my family.
  RR both if you please?
