  What's an apostate?
  Anyone who changes his or her mind about what they believe in.
  As Venice pointed out, apostasy is not in the same catagory as heresey.
  Jehovahs Witnesses that were once part of another religion are apostates.
  Anyone can be and is an apostate.
  Whether it be in the political field,scholastic field or religious field.
  I wonder how many JWs really know what the word apostate means?

  1. answer the door naked and carrying weaponry.

  2. pretend to be the slowest talking person in the world and see how long their spirit of christian charity lasts.. 3. answer every one of their questions with "what do you mean by that?

  Put up a picture of the covers of Crisis of Concience and In Search of Christian Freedom on your front door.
  That should do the trick.

  Question for "spiritual minded"JW's

  by Gianluca in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  could a spiritual minded jw please tell me the difference between someone inspired by god to write things and someone simply guided by god to write things??.

  what does the word christ mean?.

  in any organization is it not necessary that there be a directing head or policy-making part that controls or guides the organization?

  Hi Gianluca,
  It never ceases to amaze me how on one hand the WTS will say that they are not prophets, that they are not infallable.
  And yet on the other hand, they insist that to question their teachings and instructions is to question God.
  Even to the point of disfellowshiping someone that does not agree with what they presently teach.
  You can't have it both ways.
  Either you're a prophet being guided by God or you're not.
  They warnings Jesus gave about false prophets can very easily include the WTBTS.

  Your Rebellion = Watchtower Oxymoron.

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you are an ex-witness, regardless of the reasons that you left, did you also rebel against your creator as well as the wtbts?

  or did you just feel that jw`s didn`t have the truth, but that you were quite happy to go on believing in god, albeit accepting that your idea of god was now somewhat different?.

  according to the watchtower, by leaving the jw`s, you have rebeled directly against god.

  I forgot to add, APOSTASY does NOT mean A rebellion against Jehovah.
  It simply means that you don't believe what you once did.
  You simply said NEVER MIND!

  Hi Englishman,
  According toFunk and Wagnalls Dictionary, apostasy:Desertion of ones faith,religion,party or principles.
  Or simply to go against what one formerly believed.
  The word apostate also can be used with other orginizations besides religion.
  Whether they be political or scholastic orginizations.
  So keeping the definition in mind, all JWs that were once members of another religion and have left it to become Jehovahs Witnesses can rightly be called APOSTATES.
  On page 36, In the book Reasoning from the Scriptures,it asks the question, Would faithful Christians welcome apostates into their presence, either personally or by reading their litterature?

  Interesting question because anyone that is allowing Jehovahs Witnesses that were once part of another religion into their home for a study is associating and learning from apostates.
  
  Good post Englishman.

  The well's drying up

  last weekend we had dinner with my wife's family.

  they had just "enjoyed" their circuit assembly.. their circuit met in two halves over two weeks (avoids the mad scramble to the dining room that way).

  total baptized for the entire circuit (a city circuit)?

  Hi Fred,
  I'm surprised at your one line insulting response to Expats post.
  I know you can respond more inteligently.
  Now what are your views on what expat has posted?
  Do you agree that there are less and less people being baptised?
