If you question the beliefs of the Jehovah's Witnesses does that make you an apostate? What about Russell? He questioned the original belief that the Jehovah's Witnesses had about the Trinity, did that make him an apostate? Also, the book, Jehovah's Witnesses, proclaimers of gods kingdom quotes Matt 7:15 regarding being on the watch for false prophets. It states theat they will come from among you yourselves and that they would do so QUIETLY and from within the congregation in a secret or camouflaged way.
What about studying the bible, beliefs and addressing questions as to the accuracy of the teachings? I don't think that would be considered apostasy as Russell was able to question the issue of the trinity without being considered an apostate. So then, if questioning a belief out in the open how could this be considered apostasy?
