Why didn't we ever care about checking whether or not the NWT was "the most reliable Bible on the planet." Such an audacious claim and it didn't spark much investigations.
(not saying no one did check it, just seems the vast majority never did, at least not for a long time).
So here we all were, with this unverified and propietary Bible using it as the Word of God to teach about the meaning of life?

Valid question. I didn't really know the Bible until I learned the NWT. I was poisoned enough by the sly tactics that "Jehovah, the name has been removed from other Bibles." When a major doctrine of the JW's was easy to get from the NWT, I sometimes read another version and they just seemed awkward to understand.
I guess I am saying the deception was so complete. Knowing nothing of anything, say Denmark, and having everything you start to learn about Denmark coming from a neighbor who swears he knows all about Denmark, I might believe him thoroughly if my neighbor was a decent fellow to me. If I never found out that his sister was killed in Denmark, I would never know his view was compromised.
Jehovah, the name has been removed from other Bibles.
There it is. You have solved this riddle for me good sir!
The NAME.
No mainstream Bible translations used YHWH in the New Testament! Therefore if you were convinced that it was taken out of the NT then the NWT would be the "correct Bible"
Bam, no need to check the rest. They got the most important one right.

As a side point there seems to be the motive for adding it to the NT in the first place.
"Take over the Bible. Take over the world."

If the WT said it, I believed it. They had me totally duped and controlled.
It's amazing that I ever woke up. <------ Holy Spirit?

Nope you got one of those Human Minds.
No one gives them enough credit I always say!

Except the NWT didn't add YHWH to the New Testament OR the Old. Instead, they added the fake name, "Jehovah" in order to keep following "traditions of men as doctrines."
When I was stuck in the tower it was before the NWT even came out back in the 50's, we used to use the American
standard bible back then if I remember correctly as an 8 year old. I escaped the tower before the internet.
If you went to a book store they usually only had a small shelf on cults and religions or anything about the
bible that wasnt main stream.
Still I escaped in 83
Why? Because we were ALL under 'Mind Control' . . .
