Dear Autumn Dawn -
I'm thrilled to hear that you're "getting it" about what Jesus said about life, both now and later. If we seek, ask and knock, He's always faithful to answer us where we are.
Regarding your study with your friend from the Jehovah's Witnesses, you might want to do a search into the differences between orthodox Christianity (not necessarily Eastern Orthodox; I'm using the term to mean that which is embraced by all Christians) and Jehovah's Witnesses. I don't want to go into more detail on this board, but I'd be happy to share some of what I've discovered via email. I believe strongly in knowing as much as you can about any organization that you want to embrace, especially organizations that deal with something as important as the soul. Then you'll have a fully-informed decision to make.
I hope you and your family will find a place to worship that feeds all of you - ask the Lord to show you where that is. And remember, He wants to use you to feed others there too; He has a place for you that will feel the most like home (on this side of heaven, that is).
Shalom, Dena
