I was just watching a documentary on polygamist LDSes in Canada and I hear them dropping terms like "apostate" and "worldly" ... and I'd never heard either of those terms in my entire life until I started spending time in the company of JWs. Have I led a sheltered life? Is this just a random coincidence? Curious am I.
Anyone besides JWs and LDSs use words like "apostate" and "worldly"

Well, catholics use "heretic". In muslim they are "ridda". Or they do "ridda", not sure. Jews, "kofer".
As far as I know atheists have no term.

Muslims use the word apostate and Adventists use the word disfellowship.

vil - Okay thanks, didn't know that (about either one).
