Why are Jehovah's Witnesses baptized into the self appointed 'God's spirit directed organization' where in the Bible does it teach this?

Baptism is a required part of the Christian faith. All Christians seeking God's approval must be baptised in the name of the father, son and holy spirit according to directives in Matthew 28: 19, 20. Jehovah's Witnesses follow this directive.
They sincerly believe their organisation to be "God's spirit directed organisation"
Further....
Jehovah's Witnesses seek to reflect what they believe to be the "first century model of Christianity". They believe the first century christians were an organised body of individuals that looked to a central body for directions as guided by God's spirt (see Acts Chapter 15).
It never says this in The Bible.

What all can a Jehovahs Witnesses unbaptized publisher do?
One of Jehovah's Witnesses who is an unbaptized publishermeans that they have not been baptized but wish to share in the work that Jesus Christ, God's son, commanded us to do at Matthew 24:14 which reads, "And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." The next step for an unbaptized publisher is to become a baptized publisher. Baptized publishers ultimately do the same as unbaptized publishers except for the fact that they have dedicated their lives to Jehovah God meaning they will use their lives in worship to him.

Are jehovahs witnesses brain washed?
Many would say they are. Quite a few witnesses say "They are glad they are" because before they became JWs their brain was full of dirty thoughts etc. and their brains needed washing! In reality, it takes a huge amount of study to become a witness and they enter and get baptized of their own free will. Many highly intelligent people are witnesses. So the objective answer is no they are not.

Why do jehovahs witnesses excomunicate ex members?
We do not automatically disfellowship someone who commits a serious sin. If, however, a baptized Witness makes a practice of breaking the Bible's moral code and does not repent, he or she will be shunned or disfellowshipped. The Bible clearly states: "Remove the wicked man from among yourselves."-1 Corinthians 5:13.

Can a Jehovah witness date someone who is studying the faith?
There are many different type of Christianity based religions. Jehovah's Witnesses are one themselves. Being a christian is basically about believing that Christ was alive, and that he did come to earth at one point in time. The difference about Jehovah's witnesses and some other Christians is that Jehovahs witnesses believe that Christ was Jehovah's son, not God himself. And so, to answer your question, Jehovahs witnesses do not date girls or boys from different religions, Christian or not. If someone were to be in a relationship with a person who has a different god, it would almost be like he believes in that god as well. If a witness were to date a girl or boy of a different religion, it would be because he or she is not truly worshiping Jehovah.
When do Hispanics baptize their babies?
That is not a Jehovah's witness question really. Jehovah's Witnesses get baptized when they are old enough to understand what they are doing and dedicate their lives to the doing of Jehovah's will. This is true of any one of Jehovah's Witnesses weather hispanic or not. This would not be possible for a baby. Jesus Christ was 30 when he was baptized.

Did david Jason get baptised as one of jehovahs witnesses?
After contacting Sir David Jason's agents, I can confirm that there is absolutely no truth in these rumours. Mr Jason has not been baptized as a Witness, and is not a Witness.Plus, I have contacted London Bethel, the UK headquarters of Witnesses and they confirm that there were no baptisms on Sunday at Plymouth, the rumoured day and location of his baptism. This is an urban myth.David Jason the English actor, highly unlikely. After telephoning London Bethel (headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses in UK) they confirmed that there were no baptisms on Sunday 24th July 2011.____
