I would DEFINITELY present to them the other side. Would you tell your friend who's buying the same lemon of car the problems you had with yours? Of course you would. If they STILL wanted to buy the car after you told them what you know, then they can go ahead and do what they want but at least they were warned.
Investigators, and Mormons themselves, have a RIGHT to know the truth. What they do with the truth is up to them, but I would at least help them make an an INFORMED decision before joining.
Since investigators are generally not brainwashed yet, I would suggest to them that they read the following websites in the following order:
http://home.teleport.com/~packham/tract.htmwww.mormonthink.com
www.utlm.org
I would also recommend them reading Mormonism: Shadow or Reality or the Changing World of Mormonism.
If they STILL wanted to join after reading those sources then at least they know the craziness and there's not much else you could do at that point but say, "have fun."
