I know what an apostate is, though.
Even apostate is not a very well defined term on this site. But I will attempt to define both. I hope those posters I use as examples will forgive me. "Apostate" describes someone like Seattle Ute who we all know used to be LDS and no longer is. However, if your definition of that term is also broad enough to include someone like SIEQ or Archaea, then you are a mullah.

Tex, you take that responsibility with great glee. You were not invited here and your frequently stated purpose is to antagonize and argue with those you think have heretical interpretations of LDS doctrine/theology.
It's sort of quaint to have Goat claim I'm religiouisly puritantical while at the same time indicating I'm not welcome here. Wonderfully ironic.

*Shrug* As long as we're offering definitions:

I can easily be banned. All people, including yourself, could leave.

Tex you are a great mormon. All persecution just reinforces to you that you are right. Ever consider sometimes people are persecuted for being right, others because they are just assholes and sometimes it could be a mixture of the two. I have never seen any cases of the last option, but I suppose it is a possibility.

Finally, I never commented on how you ARE as a religious person. I don't know enough about you to comment. I did comment on how interested you are in how pure others' opinions of LDS doctrine/theology is and rectifying it if it doesn't meet your litmus test. There is a difference between your personal worthiness and your incessant pounding your drum in how things really are.

Sandra Tanner is an apostate.

Sidney Rigdon apostatized.

Of course, I may not be any of the group you identified, but that's my thought of an apostate. Somebody who was once a member but then leaves and actively campaigns attacking the Church or drawing members away.
