An idea came to mind regarding the topic of baptism. I'm still working out (in my mind) a way to convince those around me are not in the one true religion that it sets itself up to be. I have to think of a clever and subtle way to bring up baptism, (since they are baptised) and it cannot be in a way that seems threatening or like I am trying to create an argument. I have to somehow show evidence of the WTS changing the questions and not even baptizing people in the way that should be done according to biblical sense. How would this be done? I pulled up the sets of questions (2 questions that are generally asked at the baptismal) that have changed from 1966, 1970, 1973, 1985. If I decide to show them to my friends how would I do that? Would they take the time to look at them?
Also, when JW's are taught about baptismal are they taught that it should not be done in the name of any organization? Also are they taught that it should be done in the name of the Father, Son , and Holy Spirt?

In typical double speak, the Watchtower says we should not be dedicated to an organization, then baptises in the name of the organization.
"We do not dedicate ourselves to a religion, nor to a man, nor to an organization. No, we dedicate ourselves to the Supreme Sovereign of the Universe, our Creator, Jehovah God himself. This makes dedication a very personal relationship between us and Jehovah." Watchtower 1966 October 1 pp.603-604
