I would go back to my 16-year-old self. I would tell myself to not get baptized, instead, focus on getting good grades at school, get a job immediately like at McDonald's or Tim's, stick with that job all the way through high school, keep up with your French, take a year off after graduating and work full time to build up some money, then move to the capital for college, finish college in 2-years and get your federal job. Do not get baptized, do not pioneer, do not go to bethel.

Brokeback Watchtower
I 'd say in as simple terms as possible:"Hey stupid lets not take this Sky God Boogie Man thing too seriously he's got some deep destructive issues."
My former self would not listen to reason after just 2 months of indoctrination. But if I could have said some words of wisdom to my former say 2 weeks after being love bombed I might have responded, but later than that is a big gray region,, I'd say in about a year my mind was totally in la la land singing the: listen to the good news from the Watchtower tune and felt cowarded by this ego maniac god in to worshiping him to avoid death threats on my life. It effected me deeply as I pretended to be happy with WT corporation goals as God's Earthly Organization.
