Clay, I know where you are soming from. The people on this board are trying to help you. Some of them are jaded(you know who you are) and some are willing to be real with you and tell you how it is. IF you love this woman than be her friend. Do not try and convince her of the WTS's errors. It cannot be done unless she does it her self. Share what you believe in the most unobtrusive ways possible.
The single most important thing is to be her friend. Nothing more. I am in a way still where you are but I have stood by my belief in God and my desire above all else to be a friend to the one I love. She has come to me on multiple occasions when she had no one else to go to. Because of my friendship with her we went and saw Kingdom of Heaven together. It was an awesome chance to plant seeds in her. Try taking your friend to see that movie. Study on the Freemasons and Mormons. Study the WTS's history and make some comments without being critical. See how she reacts and if she is willing research it together.
No one person here can help you. No person can truly help you. All we can do is speak from experiance and offer advice. If this woman is the one then do not listen to the negative/jaded people here. They are trying to help in their own way. If she is not the one but you still want her as a friend then know that it could take years of being her friend before she realizes that you are there for her no matter what when others are not.
I could say more but, well.....I feel myself slipping back into how I was a few weeks ago and it is not good for me right now.
I will be updating my story shortly. The next week or so could spell big changes is what is going on. Keep the prayers up everyone. And Clay, you and your friend will be in my prayers tonight. I know where you are and not to be negative but it only gets worse before it gets better. Read all that you can. Online and Off. Knowledge and Truth are two things that unfortunatly JWs do not have.

This is truly a win for all. This child has the chance to brighten many lives and the WTS has/will hopefully lose it's hold on another family. I hope and pray that this child knows that it's parents didn't sacrifice it to the WT alter and that when the time comes he/she can make a better choice of faith and future generations can avoid having to make the same decision. An incredible story and I hope this child is okay and that the parents know they made the right choice.

After checking out mcgregorministries.com it appears they are not the right people. I will do this Bible Study anyway. Things happen for a reason.

Here is the response I got:
Thank you for contacting us at Amazing Facts.
No we are not Jehovah Witness or Later Day Saints.
Amazing Facts is a non-profit religious ministry that doesn't
receive subsidy funding from any denomination. Of course,
we do have convictions regarding Bible truth and each have
churches that we attend of which we are very proud. We
try to keep this out of the picture since we seek to reach
people of all faiths. Our goal is not to make denominational
preferences foremost, but rather, focus on the Bible and
allow people to come to their own conclusions and
convictions.
But, to answer your question, Amazing Facts is part of the
Northern California Conference of Seventh Day Adventists.
May God bless you.
In His Service,
Amazing Facts
I need to brush up on 7th day Adventists. -

I searched online and they appear to be a multi-denominational Christian ministry focusing on science/prophecy. They are based in Northern California with another location in Canada. I just sent them an email asking for more info. It would be cool if this was a true christian group going door to door. I would join in a heartbeat. It appears to be very well organized. I will keep everyone updated. Their address is : www.amazingfacts.org

She started asking me questions about faith and I asked her if she was affiliated with the JWs. She said no. She handed me a little booklet and asked if I was interested in a Bible Study. I said sure and made an appoitment for 5:30 tomorrow.
Anyone heard of these people?
