  They're just apostates trying to make us look bad

  Fortunately for us Apostates™, the WTS doesn't need any help from us to look bad... there are plenty of JWs showing their true colours enough to make the WTS look bad already.

  All we do is make sure everyone knows about it.

  Besides, isn't that exactly how the WTS behaves toward other religions? Point out all their flaws to make them look bad, enough to try and make people change their religious affiliation and join the JWs? With the measure that you are measuring out, they will measure out to you. (Matthew 7:2)

  My personal favorite: Steven Hassan's Combatting Cult Mind Control.

  Oh HELL yes.

  One fine day, when I was thoroughly sick of the barren jaydub way of life, it occurred to me to read about cults as a way of "counting my blessings" (you know, "Well, Jehovah's witnesses don't do that, so we're not a cult"). So I picked up Mr. Hassan's little time-bomb from the library.

  Of course I discovered the JW's matched in every particular; the difference between us and Jonestown was only a matter of degree.

  Three weeks later, I was out.

  That's the classic one-liner that is a lame attempt to end all discussion. It reminds of the the Emperor who has no clothes; telling people: "stop looking at my pale ass".
