When asked that at the door I always replied "If you are asking if I have been baptized in dedicated my life to following Christ's footsteps and show that outwardly by baptism, then sure."

And of course they don't use the term "trinity". They say they don't believe in the trinity but they do, they've just substituted the fds for the holy ghost. I realized that after reading Blondie's topic on the last watchtower study. Father, Son and the fds - yep that's the jw trinity.

Do you accept Jesus as your personal Savior?’
You might reply: ‘The Bible clearly says . . . (quote Acts 4:12). I believe that. But I have also learned that serious responsibilities go with it. How is that? Well, if I really believe in Jesus, then I can’t believe in him just as far as it seems convenient.’ Then perhaps add: ‘His perfect life given in sacrifice makes it possible for us to have forgiveness of sins. But I know that it is also vital to pay attention to his instructions regarding our responsibilities as Christians. (Acts 1:8; Matt. 28:19, 20)’
Or you could say: ‘(After confirming the fact that you do believe in Jesus as Savior, not only of yourself, but of all who exercise faith in him . . . ) It is important that we respond appreciatively not only to what he did in the past but also to what he is doing now. (Matt. 25:31-33)’
‘I have accepted Jesus as my personal Savior’
You might reply: ‘I am glad to hear that you believe in Jesus, because there are so many people today who give no thought to what Jesus did for us. You no doubt know well the scripture at John 3:16, don’t you? . . . But where will such people live forever? Some will be with Christ in heaven. But does the Bible show that all good people go there? (Matt. 6:10; 5:5)’ -

They dont believe jesus is their personal savior.
Deflection. Dont answer the question. Make a statement and redirect with a less self-hostile question of your own.

The Baptist Hymnal had a song called, "Victory in Jesus".
I often thought, "This is why the WT message has no appeal to Orthodox Christians"
