    Are you more heterodoxical now, as an apostate, than you were before as a witness? Or less?

    So does that make "homodoxy" a word too? And what would THAT mean, agreeing with established religions?

    well, if it means disagreeing with established beliefs such as those held by the secret society of jehwits, then i suppose i am heterodoxical.

    1. disagreement with established opinions: the condition of being at variance with established or accepted beliefs or theories, especially in the field of religion

    but are they established?

    answers.com defines as follows:

    het·er·o·dox (het'?r-?-doks ') pronunciation
    adj.
    1. Not in agreement with accepted beliefs, especially in church doctrine or dogma.
    2. Holding unorthodox opinions.

    so, it would appear that being an apostate would likely be deemed unorthodox. hence, i recant, i am not heterodixcal.

    thanks for the word of the day. post more.
