Yes, I used that line when questioned by someone as to why we no longer attend.
It needs to be used calmly and without any arrogance. Then this direct, yet simple comment can't help but make the person think!
"It is BECAUSE I value Truth and Honesty that I have chosen to no longer attend"

The Searcher
I'm prepared to say to any potential inquisitors, "My conscience dictates that I accept
Bible truth over literature truth."
If any J.W. wants to assert that they are one and the same, I'll be very willing to discuss the matter with them.

It is strange that none of them have come back with "But we have the truth, so you should be with us".
WHY HAVE THEY NOT ?

The Watchtower Corporation has always been an exercise of commercialized and corrupt charlatanism, one way or another.
Part of being a successful charlatan is to exploit people's emotions and ignorance to appeal to their receptiveness, in the venturing intent toward psychologically captivation .
