Is apostate an appropriate term for us? (page 2)

Let's not forget that many JDubs are themselves apostates. How so? Because they have "stood away or apart from" their former religious affiliations. Ironically, the WTS literature is full of advice to members of "Babylon the Great" to separate themselves and come to "Jehovah's organisation for salvation" i.e. to apostasise.

Cheers,

Not only am I an apostate, I'm a godless heathen!

Pass the beer.

All of the Christianized Jews were Apostates. They left Judaism for christ.

Paul, was a major Apostate.

The ONLY time the word bothers me is when it comes from a loyal dub who says something like..."they are leaving the truth'and becoming an APOSTATE. When the dubs use the word.....it makes my skin crawl!

The word doesn't bother me...however I'd rather be called GODDESS of the pagans!

But I'd settle for just being callled Carol.

My husband prefers heretic.

Finnrot, if you don't mind a bit of a drive, there will be an apostafest on August 3 in the Seattle area. Lots of people are coming!

Thanx Princess.

I need to break in a new car with a nice long drive, that should do it.

Maybe we're APOSTLE-TATES, since we're preaching for the demise of the Tower>

	Cast

A man of the cloth finds his faith challenged both by the death of one of his closest relatives and the aftermath of the crime in this thriller. When a man is murdered under mysterious circumstances, his brother, a Catholic priest (Richard Grieco), decides to start his own investigation with the help of his uncle, a detective, in hopes of tracking down the killer. His search for the truth leads him into a local artists' community, but the more he learns, the most he's troubled by what he finds. The Apostate also stars Dennis Hopper, Kristin Miller, and Efrain Figueroa. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

'richard greico as a catholic priest'? there's a stretch

Gumby,

No, that is not true. Apostasy must be understood in context. The Jews that still believed in the Law were apostate according to Paul and not as you suggest.
