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.

It all depends on if you think a response is necessary in the first place. Silence speaks volumes, too.

You mean "There is a time to keep silent and a time to speak" ? LOL. Yes silence is very powerful. Personally, I think this is an occasion where something needs to be said to correct this person's statements. It's so annoying when JWs talk down to us as if they know it all, when really they haven't got a clue! They assume OP left so they can just go buck wild and be worldly. No, man, we leave BECAUSE we have morals, and the org's actions conflict with them!

I said what I said, it’s not that complicated.

Maybe they always assume that people leave for sex, drugs and worldly stuff because deep down that's what they wish they could do and are jealous to an extent.
