Who becomes a Jehovah's Witness?

Answer 1

Anyone who studies The Bible with a qualified Witness until they become very familiar with scriptures to help explain questions that frequently arise in the ministry. First, one becomes an unbaptized publisher and then they answer a series of questions to test their knowledge of the Bible. Next, they dedicate their lives to Jehovah God and accept Christ Jesus as Savior and King, by Jehovah's arrangement. They then symbolize that dedication by water baptism at the next convention or assembly in their region. You can become one of Jehovah's Witnesses by these means, but it is up to the individual Witness to "continue in the things learned" to remain a Witness in good standing. Many have joined and left for no apparent reason. Perhaps they were discouraged when the person that studied with them decided to help others in need of the Truth or they had the misconception that baptism was all that was required to become a Witness. Anyone who becomes a baptized Witness should always live to please Jehovah and not a person, or persons. We do this out of love for our Creator, not to get a prominent seat at the Kingdom Hall or other recognition. Parents of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
