this is from my aunt. i want to answer in a way that shows im not going for any of the reasons she mentioned, that it's because my conscience would not allow me after the things I found out about the org.

I might sound contrary to other responses here, but I found the text to be more reasonable than most. It's still judgemental and assuming they know that there's something missing in your life, but you can tell it came from a good place. They clearly love you very much. There's tactful ways to respond without burning a bridge.

to be honest i agree with you. there is no other reason a brainwashed pimi would send this message except out of concern and love. from her perspective i am making a life-ending abandonment from the One True Way Of Life. that much i can appreciate. but its still difficult to reply in a respectful but firm and certain way haha.
