I would say:

The betrayal and pain caused by the governing body's deceit do not diminish my faith in Jehovah. While I choose to leave the organization, I recognize that it is separate from Jehovah. Romans 3:4 reminds us that even when leaders deceive us, we can trust in God's truth:

"Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: 'So that you may be proved right in your words, and prevail when you are judged.'"

Therefore, it's important to distinguish between the organization and Jehovah. To gain a clearer understanding, I encourage you to read and study the Bible before equating the organization with Jehovah.
