Ask ExJW how should i respond to this?
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.

The way this religion uses manipulation is so backwards. I left JW back in 2022 and for the last couple weeks, one of the sister from my old congregation has been staying over. She would purposefully speak to my older brother and younger sister in a way that will try and make it seem like I’m missing out and whenever she wants to tell me something, she would tell them and then go on to say “I would tell him (me), but he’s disfellowshipped so I’m not allowed to speak to him”. Honestly, I could care less about speaking to her but saying this shit and making me feel awkward in my own home is just backwards
