As apostate is one who forsakes his religion. They can live wherever they like
Apostates, or individuals who have left a religion, can live in various places around the world depending on personal circumstances and preferences. They may choose to live in countries where freedom of religion is protected or where apostasy is not criminalized. Additionally, some apostates may feel more comfortable living in communities or regions that are more accepting of their decision to leave their previous religious beliefs.

Apostates
A:An apostate is simply someone who leaves a religion. Former Christians who become Muslims are apostates, and they worship the same God but no longer believe that Jesus is divine. Former Muslims who become Christians are apostates, and they worship the same God but now believe that Jesus is divine. Those who become Hindus are also apostates, but now worship the Hindu gods instead of the Abrahamic God. Many apostates have simply come to the realisation that there is no God and they no longer worship.
The issue per se is not that the WatchTower labels those who do not follow its faith (Jehovah's Witnesses) as apostates. This is their status since apostate merely means that they reject the tenets of being a Jehovah's Witness. However, the way they discuss apostasy is apalling. They refer to them as diseased people and consider them derisively. They also endorse harassment of apostates. This hateful conduct is entirely unacceptable.

Apostates are people who formally renounce their religion and join another.
They would be known as apostates or even heretics.
The main reason for the Western interest in apostates, sexual minorities, and religious minorities being targeted for violence across the Islamic World, but especially in the Middle East, is because these individuals are specifically targeted on account of their class status. The Muslims who suffer under these regimes are certainly more numerous, but they are suffering from a generally repressive atmosphere, not one that specifically seeks their elimination.
The illustration was of vultures and hummingbirds who fly over the same desert.Both can find - what they're looking for.Vultures: look for things that 'once was'; they dwell on the past. They look for the dead and rotten. They feast on it. They tear it to pieces.Hummingbirds: look for the 'living', the beautiful, the juicy; they live off the fresh nutrients.Likewise with apostates, -- they can find whatever they're looking for. They have a library larger than any Witness. They dredge up the past, that's been dead for some time; rotting in some old library. They savor it; and tear it to pieces.Hummingbirds search for the beautiful fresh flowers of the cactus.Therefore Jehovah's Witnesses don't pay any attention whatsoever to what apostates try to pawn off for us to feed ourselves with. They hit a dead end with us. We let them be, to enjoy their well chosen feast. We have our ministry to busy ourselves with.That's what I remember of the illustration at our assembly; but perhaps I missed some other detail of the illustration.
Roman Catholic AnswerThere is no "the Inquisition", there were several over maybe eight centuries. Most contemporary people when asking about "the" inquisition are referring to the Spanish Inquisition which was set up by King Gerdinand and Queen Isabella in 1478, and approved by Pope Sixtus IV. It was directed against lapsed converts from Judaism, crypto-Jews, and other apostates whose secret activities were dangerous to Church and State. I do not think the Inquistion changed the Church as it was basically set up to deal with apostates.
Probably nothing. All the Mormons "secrets" have already been exposed by apostates and are readily available on the internet.
Apostasy is forbidden in Islam. All apostates, those who chose apostasy, are the same as the unbelievers and all of them are vulnerable to the next Muslim bombing. Most Muslim scholars and jurists agree that the punishment for apostasy is death. Countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia institute the death penalty for those who have left Islam i.e. apostates. The origin of this arbitrary and violent law is credited to Muhammad's fear of losing control over his followers. If they were to fear apostasy at the hands of death they would not question is totalitarian and irrational will.
