I guess determinism then would be when someone gets caught up with love of money, believes Bitcoin is going to the moon and put their savings into it.
Then when the price falls off the edge of a cliff and they lose their money they believe it was all inevitable and think there is no such thing as free will. Whereas there is such a thing as not believing every stupid story you are told and wising up.

i was thinking a bit about this the other day.
ct russell, from what i remember about him, kinda seemed like a genuine, nice(ish) guy, although he had a few eccentric but harmless ideas.. during the russell era jws (actually bible students) could still celebrate christmas, worship in other churches if there was no kingdom hall available, and accept blood transfusions.. then after russell died, along came rutherford - a major league a-hole, for sure.. rutherford had plenty of eccentric ideas but at least some of them weren't/aren't harmless.
some have been long forgotten about - jesus depicted without a beard, the plan to rename the names of the week because names such as thursday (thor's day) is pagan, the articles about the 'dangers' of aluminium, etc.. one key contribution of rutherford which does a lot of harm is no blood transfusions, even in life-threatening situations.. another is shunning, something which never occurred under russell, or at least was much milder.. rutherford has a lot to answer for, i reckon ....

All sorts of people fall for con tricks because the confidence trickster aims to catch the person's confidence, not their intelligence. They study you carefully to work out how to fool you. In the end a person's intelligence would be crushed by them.
Also if you go up to those still in and tell them all you know - they probably wont listen to you. Because they don't trust you.
I think those of us who are out and have not had our faith destroyed, are out by the grace of God.

If ultimate justice exists and every person will know, that means at some point every person would have to be alive. Including those who were conceived but died in the womb or died too young to know anything.
