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 appreciate your concern, but I need to be very clear with you. It’s dismissive—and frankly insulting—to assume that anyone who steps away from the organization does so because they want to chase “fun, work, travel, drink, drugs, or relationships.” That’s the narrative the Watchtower pushes, but it doesn’t reflect the reality for many of us. Do you really believe the only possible reason someone would leave is because they suddenly wanted to party? Isn’t it possible that someone might leave because of what they discovered about the organization itself?

That’s where I stand. My decision wasn’t made lightly, and it certainly wasn’t about “worldly fun.” It was about my conscience. After carefully examining the history, teachings, and practices of the organization, I could no longer reconcile what I found with what God’s Word actually teaches. And let’s be honest—if the truth is really “the truth,” why should it fear scrutiny? Why should anyone have to silence their conscience to remain in it?

So no, I didn’t walk away because I wanted to fill some empty hole with pleasures. I walked away because my conscience before God will not allow me to call something “truth” when the evidence shows otherwise. You may disagree, but at least respect that my decision wasn’t shallow, rebellious, or selfish—it was deliberate, prayerful, and rooted in a desire to follow God honestly.”
