    I have heard this from several Witnesses.

    The assert that it is insensitive to expose someone's faith as invalid without offering another more valid spiritual path.

    "The Jehovah's Witnesses don't have the truth, because XYZ."

    ^ I have been accused of offering a disservice because I can't offer the answers to the questions that I am debunking as fradulent.

    Has anyone else ran into this obscure argument?

    If I have been conned in a business dealing and only lost all my money with broken promises, and the crime goes on, I do not have to in turn offer other possible victims of another business deal! I would only have to inform of the fraud, nothing else, period.

    When I try to leave the faith quietly and am instantly labeled a "malicious apostate" with no grounds for having an opposite opinion

    I don't usually go out of my way to tell someone their faith is wrong.

    Them: Why aren't you drinking your glass of water, Sab?

    You: That water has poison in it! Don't drink it!

    Them: You just hate my water and want to take me away from it!

    You: I'm telling you, it's poisoned! You are in danger! You can choose to drink it, but I am exercising my right to abstain.

    Them: Well, where else would you get a drink? There's nowhere... you're a malicious apostate. You have nothing to offer.
