God will choose who He may or not lead to leave an organization such as the Jehovah's Witnesses follow.
The JWs follow the doctrines that are published by "The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society".
Many Christians consider what the WTB&TS (Watchtower Bible and Tract Society) teaches to be both heretical and cultish.
If a person wants to learn what may be of use that is contradictory to the bible there are several sites.
Most apostates and nonJWs oppose the teaching of the WTB&TS not the individuals that work for the WTB&TS.
If you want to show errors then you will have to study the beliefs and then go into the bible to show error:

Honestly, the only way is to try and convince us the Bible isn't correct, Jehovah isn't a loving God, Jesus didn't come to die for us.
If you truly wish to help others, find some beliefs of your own, then see if they hold true, if so, go ahead and share them with others.

There is no possibility that all Jehovah's Witnesses will "go apostate" because Jesus himself is a Witness.
...(Revelation 1:5) Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness”
Ironically, Jehovah's Witnesses agree that only born-again Christians will inherit the kingdom.
The key to understanding the Kingdom of Heaven is recognizing the bible teaching that God's Kingdom was always intended to function as a real government. Unsurprisingly, God's government is made up of two groups: rulers and subjects. Like with human governments today, any new citizen could be said to "enter" a government's jurisdiction, protection, and benefits. However, only the relatively small number of citizens who are duly elected or appointed can be said to "enter" the governmental administration.
Likewise, the relatively small number who are resurrected to heaven (or "born again") go there to serve as "kings and priests" alongside Jesus Christ. The bible calls theirs the "first resurrection", chronologically earlier than the later earthly resurrection which follows Armageddon.
(Revelation 20:6) Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him
Because Jesus had to be the first "king and priest" of the heavenly government, no one who died before Jesus could have preceded him into heaven; that helps us understand why Jesus said what he did about John the Baptist (who he foreknew would die before Jesus).
(Matthew 11:11) Among those born of women there has not been raised up a greater than John the Baptist; but a person that is a lesser one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he is.
Qualifying to be a subject of the Kingdom of God is not easy, as Jesus immediately noted.
(Matthew 11:12) But from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of the heavens is the goal toward which men press, and those pressing forward are seizing it.
(Luke 13:20,23,24) [Jesus] said: “With what shall I compare the kingdom of God? ...Now a certain man said to him: “Lord, are those who are being saved few?” He said to them: “Exert yourselves vigorously to get in through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to get in but will not be able
(Matthew 7:13-14) Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.
As alluded to above, Jehovah's Witnesses believe the term "born again" to refer to the forsaking of a human body for a spiritual one. Those "anointed" who have a heavenly hope must eventually be literally "born again" into a new type of body; the promise of heavenly life assures they that God has already "adopted" them even while they are yet human. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that all the faithful Christians who saw Jesus impaled and worked alongside the apostles and bible writers all had a heavenly hope.
(1 Corinthians 15:44,50) If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one. ...flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s kingdom
(1 Peter 1:3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for according to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope
(1 John 3:1,2) See what sort of love the Father has given us, so that we [who are promised heavenly life] should be called children of God; and such we are. That is why the world does not have a knowledge of us, because it has not come to know him. Beloved ones, now [while human even] we are children of God, but as yet it has not been made manifest what we shall be [as heavenly beings]. We do know that whenever he is made manifest we shall be like him, because we shall see him just as he is.
