Alan, there's something you aren't facing. The fact is that all us "apostates" were once where you are! Been there, done that, in other words.
We have moved a step beyond. We have escaped the chains that bound us to tyranny and irrational behavior.
Rather than preach at us what we already have heard and preached our own selves at one time, why not take a look at what we have to say? You too could be free of all that binds and oppresses.
Maybe you should stay in the org. I don't think necessarily everyone should leave. I think for some people it would be incredibly traumatic to leave. They've found a niche to exist in and maybe could not handle the outside again.
But at least recognize that we've heard already everything you could possibly come up with, and chances are, we've said the same things at some time or other. Maybe not the inane things, one liners, etc, but we've all parroted the WTS many times during our tour of "service" to that incredibly oppressive printing business.
