Hi Amazing,No wonder the Watchtower does not mention anything about
Russell being baptised! If CTR was indeed baptised as a
Congregationalist, and if he felt no need to be baptised again
after leaving his former religious affiliations, then why do
people now have to baptised again when they become a witness? Actually, the answer is obvious, today the WT considers
baptisim as the formal and legal arrangement by which people join
the membership of Jehovah's Witnesses. The members of which are then
obliged to follow and believe without question every doctrine put
forth by the controlling rulers in Brooklyn!Baptisim is the basis for control over the people!To Will Power,I think "self baptism" is not allowed, even Jesus had John baptised
him in the Jordan river.--VM44
