Do you have to be baptized to be a Jehovah’s Witness?

The newly published, official Jehovah’s Witnesses Terminology Guide for journalists, under the sub-heading Jehovah’s Witnesses, states:

A person is not considered to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses until he obtains a reasonable understanding of basic Bible teachings, qualifies to participate in the public ministry in association with a congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and is baptized in symbol of his personal dedication to God. (bold italics added)

Is the claim that a person is not considered to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses until he is baptized truthful and honest? No. Consider the following:

In the latest Jehovah’s Witnesses cartoon indoctrination video for little children, young Caleb learns from his father that he does not have to be baptized to be a Jehovah's Witness.

The video also refers to a potential meeting with the elders to discuss Caleb becoming an 'unbaptized publisher’

And more...

Why is the Watchtower "soft" on China?

by Sad-u-see in

let's see, wt is "banned" in china.

the wt preaches that reaching everyone on the planet is so important, yet they barely have a footprint in china.

if saving lives was so important, why do they not aggressively proselytize in china?

Height of mountains before and after the flood .

by smiddy3 in

it was stated many years ago in answer to how did the flood cover the top of all the mountains on earth in noah`s day.?.

mount everest ?.

and it was explained away by saying that the mountains before the flood were a lot smaller / lower than the mountains that exist today.. so there was no problem .. when the deluge began with so much volume of water now covering the earth ( water being heavy ) pushed down into the weakest parts of the earth and raised up in other parts of the earth to where we now have higher mountains than existed before the flood of noah`s day.. in other words mount everest didn`t exist at its present height before the flood and neither did any other high mountain that exists today ,the topography all changed with the noachian flood.

jwleaks

smiddy3 - I remember those days, but as I see it now the JWs made mountains out of mole hills.

As group of desert dwellers in the Middle East, some 5,000 years ago, who worshipped a desert god that they themselves created, would have no concept of the Himalayan mountains and therefore would make no reference to them. The rest is history...
