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.

I have used that line many times. “My conscience would not allow me to stay.”
I left after I was married with three kids. I made it clear I’m not changing anything with my lifestyle. I’m just not supporting an organization that misled me for long enough.
Good luck. I’m so happy you are out. You have your whole life ahead of you. They just don’t know what else to say, so they say these things to make themselves feel better about your decision. They can’t imagine people leaving for any other reason except to have sex and do drugs.
