    Does anyone know what the latin word (if there is one) is for APOSTATE??

    Anybody in who knows other languages, please chime in with what APOSTATE is in your native tongue...

    Thank you!!

    I think the word is coming from latin.

    latin apostata. (I believe, but check it, I quit latin as I'm not good in languages)

    dutch: afvallige

    german: abtrünniger or abgefallener (the last one is the equivalent to dannie's dutch word, but means "fallen one")

    italian and spanish: apostata

    The reason I ask is because I'm thinking it would make a cool tattoo. (not right now... just thinking...)

    And if it was in a different language, it would have more special meaning...

    would be cool on a t-shirt too.

    what about "i'm your jehovah, baby!"?
