I used to ask my jw if I could come and get dunked just so I could then leave and get the label, he wouldn't go for it though. I thought it an excellent way to keep jw's away from ME! woe is me, I only get the lowly label of ubm.
Are you really an Apostate, according to the WT ?

It occurs to me that it really is one of those loaded words, isn't it?
Apostate!
oohh... spooky.
I believed... now I don't...
If they want to call me an apostate, go nuts.
They can call me a honky and lumberjack, too.
Don't give a poo.
Just a name to call somebody knowing it's very likely to upset them... don't rise to it.

Nobody is a apostate according to the Bible, using the Watchtower's definition of a "Apostate", Ray Franz brilliantly demonstrated the "Prodigal's son" would be a apostate because he did not listen to the man-made traditions of the Watchtowers Scholars of Fame-Shame!

BluesBrother: " Celebrating false religious holidays..."
Thanks for the list, BB. The first point is actually the only activity I've done that could be interpreted as apostacy by the WTS. And even then, I don't celebrate the religious aspects of Christmas and Easter. For me they're secular holidays that are fun for the whole family.
So, I guess I'm still a dub, though faded for 35 years, in good standing. What a plus.

If a child is molested by a JW and the parents call the police rather than calling the elders, those parents are apostates.
And if an elder should call the police first rather than calling WT Corp. Legal Dept. first, he is an apostate.

If a Jewish householder asks why JWs allow their children to die from lack of medical treatment based on a simple dietary restriction of the Mosaic Law, that householder is an apostate!

If the congregation accounts servant observes that the multi-billion dollar WT Corporation books are never reported and publicly audited while their puny congregation accounts are publicly reported, scrutinized, audited, and combed through by the CO, that accounts servant is an apostate!

If a library has an old copy of the blue Truth book explaining that it's God's promise that Armageddon will come within a 70-year generation of 1914, that library is apostate!
