My boyfriends father is pastor of a Baptist church and eveytime I attend I seem to have a better understanding of the readings and the sermons. I feel comfortable witnessing in this environment. Does that give me a reason to change religions? All POSITIVE criticisms would be appreciated!

There are some serious differences in the Catholic and Baptists churches. For example, baptism (babies vs. "age of concent" only) and communion (Catholics the bread/wine 'become' Jesus--Catholics will have to help me with this one, I never understood it--while for Baptists it doesn't) Make sure you understand those differences and are their aren't any serious disagreements with what you believe and what the Baptist church teaches. Like stardusttwin stated, it is really about getting in a place where the Word is explain and Jesus is exalted! If you feel that you are getting that at the Baptist church, go for it! Also know that most Baptist churches will probably want you to be baptized again since Catholics do not baptize by immersion.
