I don't.
I consider myself a truth teller.
The Watchtower Society appears to be more "apostate" than even "Christendom".
Do You Consider Yourself An "Apostate"?

Yes! Definitely, we need to embrace and take ownership of this word!

I don't take THEIR label.

It depends who is asking. I find labels to be divisive, but to answer you minimus, honestly from the dictionary definition, I am a double apostate. I left Jewish organised religion, and left Chrisitan organised religion (namely JWs). Love Kate xx

You know what, they are and that's just fine. I'm glad there are labels on the baked bean tins to differentiate them from the spaghetti hoop tins. And I'm glad to carry certain labels; Father, Husband, Freethinker, Atheist, Cypriot, Apostate, Hunk.
Nothing wrong with being divided by a label, doesn't mean the people beneath those labels can't get along. Just because someone carries a 'Christian' label or 'Wiccan' label doesn't mean they can't be my friend.
Not Scots though . . you have to draw the line somewhere! -

Hmmm, seems to me Min' that you're still stuck in the dogma that Apostates don't tell the truth . .
