Hi Martin,
First of all before you jump into the JW religion you should look into a few things. Number one, look into their REAL history. Ask people who have been there that are not on the "inside" since they will be less biased in my opinion. Check into their doctrine and see if it holds up to Jehovah's truth.
It is great that you wish to know Jehovah and learn what he has in store for you. But do you really need an organization to learn what he wants you to know?
Many people become interested because they like what they hear from the first few visits, it sounds great! So many people just listen and beleive what it is said right off the bat without really checking into it first. Then you have so many people that leave every year. If it is so great, then why do so many people leave? Some because they don't appreciate what Jehovah has to say, and more because they love Jehovah so much that they feel the MUST leave because they cannot tolerate the things that happen that are not necessary and definitely not scriptual.
Hang around on this board and you will learn a great many things. Most of the material used to disprove them is their own material. So there is no bias.
If you want someone to talk to about it, I am more than willing to talk to you and answer any questions you may have.
In Jehovah's Love,
Jason
