Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses are a excellent way to learn about the bible. It is easy to locate them, you can look in your local telephone book for the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesse's and call the one nearest to you to start a bible study, and to attend meetings there. A free bible study can be started in your own home in your free time at your convienience, for what ever time you have available. It can be once a week for 15 minutes or for one hour, whichever is more convienient for you.
I wish you well in your search for bible truth and with a personal study I am sure you will be able to learn many things and that the bible is consistent in what it teaches with many fine examples to help build your faith and help you in every day life.
Please call or contact thru the email link I have listed below and I know you will be warmly welcomed should you decide to visit or just to start with a personal study. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. The bible teaches that it means "everlasting life taking in knowledge of the true God and his son Jesus Christ."
Do not let others and their lack of understanding keep you away from the most important thing you will ever do, get to know your heavenly father, creator of the heavens and earth and everything in it.
I am also including a link to information about Witnesses and the website which you can find information in your own language.
What do they believe?

Not quite sure what you are asking, but I will take a stab at it.
"Is the Jehovah's Witness faith excellent"?? I feel so, but then I am a Christian, one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
"I would like to learn about it, Where would I find out about it"?? You can wait till we come knocking at your door:D Or you can simply look up Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in your phone book. Let whoever answers the phone know you are interested. Then ask away.
If you want you can go to http://www.watchtower.org

The best place to start learning about Jehovah's Witnesses is directly from one of Jehovah's Witnesses. However, if you don't know any personally, you can learn a lot from the official website.

You can also request that someone contact you.

Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses are unique for their rejection of paganisms, use of God's personal name, and global preaching by every active adherent. No other religious organization can claim such purity of worship.
These facts about Jehovah's Witnesses are perhaps relevant to this question. The more one compares this Christian religion with others, the more remarkable it is shown to be.
1. Jehovah's Witnesses have no paid clergy. Yet they remain tightly organized with more than 6.5 million active Jehovah's Witness preachers (about 16 million associate themselves with the religion). Even fulltime preachers and workers at their branch offices are unpaid volunteers.
2. There is no elite class among Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the few 'anointed' among them enjoy no special privileges in their congregations on earth. An anointed person (one of those relative few with a heavenly hope) is not elevated above his fellow congregants in any way, and he may not even qualify for appointment as a simple 'deacon' or elder. There are no titles; EVERYONE is addressed as 'brother' or 'sister'.
3. No person benefits economically from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the 8 to 20 men who serve on their Governing Body receive simply room, board, medical care, and reimbursement for certain personal expenses according to the exact same provision as every other branch volunteer.
4. About a hundred men have served on Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body committee during the past 125 years or so. The vast majority of them have spent the vast majority of their adult lives volunteering for their organization's purposes, and the vast majority have died faithfully and near-pennilessly while still under their legal 'vow of poverty'.
5. Amazingly, Jehovah's Witnesses did not splinter as a sect from some other religion. Instead, a truly tiny but sincere group of bible students studied only the Scriptures to determine the will of God. Thus their religion remains absolutely independent of and not carrying the sins of Christendom's history, yet carries the authority of Christ's teachings.
6. Despite the distortions of anti-Witnesses, throughout their modern history Jehovah's Witnesses have refused to claim divine inspiration or infallibility for their teachings. They have pointed to the bible (and not any particular translation) as the only inspired infallible means of knowing God's thoughts. For over 125 years, their teachings have been presented as merely the results of sincere bible research by imperfect but godly humans.

You are opening a can of worms. If you really want to know go look for websites that compare Christianity with JW's. Just so you know they are not the same.
