Desiriousofchange - I called Canadian HQ 2-3 weeks ago. They accepted my call, the man (no more brother) wanted me to go to the local elders, I said I haven't been at the meetings for a while, I just needed a simple yes or no to the question if JWs use the baptismal formula (I thought they do because I remember studying WT about what it means to be baptized in the name of the Father, Son and HS). He tried to avoid to answer but finally said a "no" and abruptly ended the call...
JW are very inconsistent in following their own rules. I remember when they were talking so much against the Internet (mid. 1990s) that we all were under the impression that they will never use it and look now, how everything changed...
