    Out of one side of their 'mouth,' they claim that Romans 6:7 refers to a person's own physical death.

    Out of the other side of their 'mouth,' (in these quotes) - they actually tell the truth - but cite Romans 6 just once::

    w06 4/1 p. 30 par. 16 - Complete immersion appropriately symbolizes the dramatic change we have made in our lifeā€”we figuratively die to our former life course and begin life anew in the service of God.

    w92 3/15 p. 17 par. 19 - When a baptismal candidate is buried under the water and then lifted out of it, he dies figuratively to his former course of life and is raised to a new way of life,

    w88 8/15 p. 27 - While under the water, he, in effect, dies to his former course of life, and on coming out of the water, he becomes, as it were, alive to a new course of self-sacrifice in Jehovahā€™s service. (Compare Romans 6:2-4; 12:1; Philippians 3:16.)

    w88 6/15 p. 29 - While under the water, it is as if they have died to their former course of life. On coming out of the water, it is as if they are now alive to a new course of self-sacrifice in service to God.

    w88 3/15 p. 14 par. 18 - Going under the water well illustrates a personā€™s dying to his former course of conduct. His being lifted up out of the water pictures his being raised to a new way of life.

    w88 1/15 p. 28 - Water baptism denotes dying to our former course of conduct and being raised to a way of life that harmonizes with the divine will.

    w78 11/1 p. 16 par. 19 - By going down into the water, being covered by it, we are, as it were, buried. We die as to our former course of action; it marks the death of our selfish course, our choosing to do as WE please. Being raised up out of the water well pictures our being made alive to the doing of Godā€™s will,

    w74 10/1 p. 607 - While still alive, they had been baptized into Christ Jesus and received the valid prospect of heavenly life. In order to be anointed with holy spirit and accepted as spiritual sons of God, they had to die to their former course in life as imperfect humans, have their sins forgiven by God and have human perfection imputed to them.

    w67 12/1 pp. 710-711 - That symbolic act speaks eloquently of your becoming dead to your own selfish former course of action (when dipped below the water), and henceforth to live in harmony with Godā€™s will (coming up out of the water).

    w60 5/1 p. 264 - Thus, they keep the important symbol of baptismā€”that of oneā€™s voluntarily dying to his former course of life and being raised up to a new life in Godā€™s service.

    w58 8/1 p. 472 par 2 - The manner in which Jesus was completely submerged or hidden in Jordanā€™s water well illustrated how Jesus became buried as dead to his former course of earthly life. His then being raised up out of the water shows how he was being made alive for the doing of Jehovahā€™s will from that time forward.

    w56 3/15 p. 177 par. 4 - Do they forget that when they made their dedication to God and symbolized it by water baptism they died to their former course of life?

    w56 7/1 p. 404 par. 8 - Being lowered by John into the water backward and completely submerged in the water well illustrated how Jesus had become dead and buried to his former course in earthly life.... So being raised up showed he was being made alive

    kl chap. 18 p. 176 par. 11 - Baptism......is as though you have died to your former course of life. When you come up out of the water, it is as if you are emerging to a new life.
