Bethel probably think I am a 10.
My old friends probably think I am a 3, as they don't really know what I am up to.
I think I am a 7, as I could do more than I do. Maybe that is left over JW thinking, "I am not exerting myself quite as much as I could to get through the narrow gate".
I'm a armchair apostate,,I like reading post here, I'm all out of anger,, I'm getting lazier in my latter part of life and don't live by any man's code, especially some empty headed old coots at bethel.
So maybe that makes me a 1 on the scale. Don't even think I got off my ass to go to an apostofest except maybe once even then I'm not a 100% sure. So on second thought put me down for a .5 or a .6.
Every single one of us is the Devil inside, according to INXS.
well since i was born into and baptized
by my family into the catholic church and
i left that one in the dust....
lets just say JWs werent the first
beggars to carry me across the stream...
guess i am a repeat offender
Apostasy- "Renunciation of a religious faith or former loyalty". Penguin English Dictionary.
I guess we re all a "ten" by the above definition.
I don't think that most of the Witlesses I know think of me as an Apostate, just a dangerous thinker who asks them questions the cannot answer.
Wobble beat me to it!!
Anyone who has renounced their faith is an apostate - so I class myself as a 10.
I'll give myself a 6/10 I probably wont picket a DC/pepper spray dubs at the door but I''ll;
destroy all WT rags in a public place at every opportunity
make up to date comments on FB
speak to family and Dubs I meet in exposing the fraud they believe
I bet the apologists think I'm really impressive!(not)
What kind of score would a moderator on the most active exJW Internet forum get?
I think the rabid, pepper-spraying kind deserve a lower score than someone who has managed to use a great deal of stealth to maintain relationships within the JWs, not get DFd for Apostasy™, attends meetings (regularly or sporadically), and doesn't believe anything the WTS says.
The in-your-face kind of Apostates™ are what the WTS and JWs expect, to feed their persecution complex.
The ones who use stealth are thought of as fairly benign, but they represent a far greater "danger" in terms of having access to JWs and WTS publications.
I think I'm a 3 on the scale.
