Yeah, the whole thing is just the No True Scotsman logical fallacy. It's not even thinly veiled. There's a bit of paint and that's it.

I was raised a JW and I'm technically still part of the congregation because no one knows that I'm atheist. I intend on keeping it that way until I'm no longer a minor, because I'll have to move out of my parents' house when I leave the congregation. I'm still considered a "fine, upstanding Christian youth". It's hilarious.

I'm impressed. Not many teens know, or even understand, the No True Scotsman Fallacy. Hang in there. Too bad you'll have to lose your family because you can't believe in a myth. A friend of mine just got kicked out of her home because her JW mother found out she was an Atheist and a lesbian. She's more upset about finding a place to live than about losing her mother.
