GOT QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSEWRS PART 1

i have some questions so whoever can; please ansewr them:

1. i read an interesting article on line that said that the jw belief that god's name was taken out of the bible is a myth b/c if that was to be the case then every single manuscript that was translated and distributed during bible times had to of been litterally seized in order so that the name could be taken out.

the article was quoted as saying "imagaine that..every manuscript all the thousands that were floating around were hand seized in order for this to be accomplished" it also brought out the point that why would the almighty god be able to keep the bible protected all these hundreds of thousands of years without a single person being able to make it nonexsistent and yet not be able to keep people from tampering with its words?

i read many "apostate" books before i left the "truth".

mentally, i was drifting away for years.

but i do think that the internet really made it easy to see all the evidence that overwhelmingly showed jws do not have the "truth".....was the 'net instrumental in getting you out?
