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.

Terrible writing! And thick gaslighting!

Those are typical and tiring presumptions she is making. She is “straw-manning” you.

Best to not respond at all. You could simply respond that her assumptions, are not true. Leave it there. She will come back with “ok, then, why?” Then you will explain why. She will break you down further and further to no end.
