It was gradual for me. I started having my own opinions opposite the Watchtower after pioneer school with the generation change. I didn't actually truly wake up until I had a conversation with a PIMO. It was perfect timing too. I was having a lot of doubts and we discussed them. He was a long time trusted friend.
So don't lose hope.
It's never just one thing, but sometimes there are a few big things.
For me, it was...
a) ...realizing evolution had to be true, and therefore the Watchtower's understanding of Christianity was irrevocably flawed...
b) ...realizing that some people - no matter what - simply could not fit the Watchtower mold, no matter what the Watchtower said, and...
c) ...realizing that the Watchtower fully intended to - for all intents and purposes - rule the planet forever after Armageddon.
The first two were shocking in their own way.
The third just made me feel sick to my stomach.
Watching a member of the GB lie and mislead the audience with his answers at the ARC. I think he has and will continue to help many start to wake up.

Fixed that for you. * wink *
