Most of us have been where you are and I don't think that the people on this forum are just here just talking about this just for conversation. At one time, most of us wanted to serve Jehovah faithfully and believed that the WTBS had our best interests at heart. You are in the "engagement phase" a study. When you get baptized, the game does indeed change courses. You mentioned that you're enjoying friendships with those in the organization. Been there, done that. You have not been tested, yet. Once you voice any concerns about the society once you get dunked, you will notice that the "love" will disappear. You will not be allowed to question the "Society". You really need to think seriously about becoming a JW. I was raised in the truth and I saw so many good people leave. That should tell you something does not add up. Read on the history of the JWS (1975, Ray Franz, etc.). If you have ANY doubts, please reconsider.
