Cheeky, do you think calling someone an "apostate" is an insult? Especially after you suggested that people stand up for their beliefs? Your post implied that you'd respect them more for standing up rather than slithering around. then someone does, and you name call.
Is that consistent?
Is even being on this forum consistent for you?
Let me tell you, I don't mind Jehovah's Witnesses calling me an apostate. I get a sort of good-natured chuckle out of it. I've been where they are. I don't recall ever calling anyone an apostate. I just hoped then that I'd manage to somehow be faithful. But then I saw that the WTS wasn't really, in my opinion, faithful to the Bible. They seemed to me to create their own traditions.
Anyway, I hope that whatever is eating at you enough to be on this hard driven forum, that you come to terms with it. That you really find yourself and where you belong in this big scheme of things.
