Hi John,
Welcome to the forum!
I'm not sure if you realize that this is a forum consisting largely of disillusioned JWs and former JWs who have been treated often quite horribly by the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses which claims to be God's only spokesmen on earth today.
I sense you hoping to make friends with people of faith and learn more about the God of the Bible in the process? Is this the case?
