    Wow, I never knew there was a Christendom College until today. It is in Virginia. That would be the place for all apostates to go.

    "Christendom" only has negative connotations to a JW.

    Christendom simply means "the Christian world".

    All Christians are part of Christendom, like it or not.

    "Christendom" is a fairly archaic term. I think it's true to say that it is used (and only rarely) in writing about the history of the spread of christianity around the world. In all my quarter of a century as a Methodist Minister, I don't think I ever heard anyone use it when referring to the present day church.

    Yes, christiandom. Often when it was mentioned in my study I would point out that they are bashing Christians again and that it was religious bigotry. I never conceded them a distinction in that word. Even when they would say it was false Christians, I told them they did not have the authority to judge who is a true or false Christian, only Christ had that authority.
