I am not saying this isn't a JW baptism. But what are the signs that it really is?
I hate to admit it, but there are some oddities. The batizee is wearing a dress shirt (or so it appears) and there might even be a tie hiding in the shadows. (JW's baptize in swim suits in the U.S., Malawi too?) Some guys have ties, and some not. (Jw's tend to be the same) Brother Baptist has a buzz-cut, a little odd for a JW but not unheard of. There aren't any mags or song books in evidence.
On the other hand, I don't see any crosses or other images, which you'd expect at a baptism for any other christian group. Nobody's got their hand raised in the air, which seems to be a "praise jesus" move common at these types of things.
That's all I got. Anybody else?

Look at the woman with the blue headscarf on - shes laughing her frikin' head off - shes seen the kings new clothes alright! Shes just too polite to tell the white guy hes an arse.

It's probably a new idea- one baptism at a time- take a picture and put it in the files at WT headquarters. No way to deny you did it later to avoid a disfellowshipping action.
