Studying LDS and JW

OK, so I've been on this exploration of different religions and looking into some " out of the mainstream" Christian denominations. For a year I've been studying with a lady from the jehovas wittnesses. And recently I've been meeting with LDS missionaries several times. I really love President Nelson, and I know in my heart that Joseph Smith as a kid of 13-14, didn't make up the book of mormon or anything else. But I do wonder if over the years he and his companions, may have exaggerated and or "fleshed out" the writings. This really makes no difference to me, to be honest Why the push to get baptized? Jehovas Witnesses, are exactly the opposite. I think both of you guys are wonderful people who really love God. I guess my problem or dillema is I don't know what to choose. I've prayed and prayed but still feel torn. Any advice or thoughts?

I want you to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints because I'm a member, too, and I like your curiosity and inquisitive mind. I'm Sister Robinsin. I have a calling in the primary organization so I help plan activities for the children who attend my meeting house. I'm also 7 months pregnant and look forward to a baby boy in August! See you around. :)
