Moved into my first apartment, and it feels like I should close my bedroom door, but at the same time, I feel I should have it open. What are your preferences?

Currently have airpods pro but I switched to the Samsung eco system so I'm wondering if I should get buds 3 pro or pro 4? Any huge differences?

I have this neighbor; she is very warm and friendly, and we chitchat every now and then. Lately, I started talking to her more, and she mentioned she's a JW and invited me to Kingdom Hall for a visit. My dad turned into a JW after his divorce from my mom, so I'm familiar with the environment. When my neighbor started introducing me to everyone, everyone was really friendly and welcoming, and one guy even got my number for a Bible study. I really liked seeing how happy my neighbor was, and she expressed how happy she was that I was going to the meetings, so I kept going every Sunday. She kept introducing me to people and eventually invited me to hang out and invited me to get togethers that she has with her friends. I started to enjoy being a part of something and being around very friendly people. I almost thought to myself, "Maybe this is the way of life; maybe I should join."

During my second Bible study, the guy asked me what "hope" means to me, and I told him. He then told me what hope means to them, and it felt like he was being very pushy and kept emphasizing that JW is the truth, which pushed me away from it. I also started having some problems in my life, so I tried to talk to my neighbor. She kind of just gave me some BS response about how I have to pray to Jehovah and if I have any other questions to ask the guy with whom I'm doing the Bible study. After that, I took a step back and just reflected, and I can't help but wonder, is this how people join or get sucked into JW? After taking a step back and reading posts on here, I realized this is very cult like.
