it-1 p. 126 Apostasy: This term in Greek (a·po·sta·si ′a) comes from the verb a·phi ′ ste·mi, literally meaning “stand away from.”The noun has the sense of “desertion, abandonment or rebellion.”
Yup, those definitions definitely apply to me - I have "stood away from"and have "deserted, abandoned, and rebelled" (cautiously) all the apostate teachings oozing out of the minds of the modern-day Pharisees - our CLERGY, the MASTERS of OUR FAITH, and self-appointed RELIGIOUS LEADERS in NY state.
Any lurkers disagree with this description of the GB? Try and question what they repeatedly force-feed you at meetings etc. and see what happens to you!
Oh, I'm just an 'apostate', what do I know? Read the September 2007 Kingdom Ministry 'Question Box' - then waken up and find who has replaced Christ as your Lord and Master!
