How do I find a Church...?

I am praying, reading scripture, and searching very hard to find a church. We are suppose to have fellowship with one another and this is why I feel this is so important to me. I find it important to have a church that doesn't just get together once or twice a week and then its members seem to forget about God the rest of the time. I come from a baptist background and that is exactly how it felt. I want somewhere that is open always to its members. Catholicism sounded great at first, but I have heard numerous arguments for the prayers to God through the saints and I have decided that I cannot believe it is acceptable to God, regardless of how much I think the rosary is a neat idea or how dedicated catholics can be. I have done so much research it is insane. I find things about the churches that I think "this could be the one" but then something comes to my attention that I find deeply troubling about the faith. I want a church that follows the bible. SO many claim to do this, but the church described in the bible is WAY different than anything I have ever seen. Jehovah's witness seems to be almost exactly doing what the bible says to do. They do not ornament churches, or have idols all over the place. They go door to door and spread the word of God. They meet very similar to the way it is described in Acts. They hold reverence for his name (which has tragically been lost throughout so much of the world). My big problem is that they have this magazine that they follow when studying and they believe that reading the bible alone will lead them astray. That is very troubling to me, but everything else seems so spot on and no other denomination I have found has even come close. The jewish faith seems very correct except the fact that they don't believe Christ was the savior. Mormons have some great points but they have more books than JW's do. There are so many other things I could put on here but I don't have time. I desperately want to find the trueth. God is most important and comes first. We are here to worship and praise him. He comes first. I just want to find the fellowship that truelly feels the same way. Please give me guidance if you have wisdom of the lord. God bless. PS: Please do not be offended if I have covered your denomination. I say everything with love and a heart that is truelly searching. I am not judging and I love and pray for all of my borthers and sisters in Christ regardless of denomination.
