Baptized witness?

Reader comment on item: Mohammad Radwan Obeid, Jehovah's Witness?
in response to reader comment: not a witness

Submitted by Adam (United States), Jan 18, 2011 at 12:37

Anyone can claim to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses, but was he baptized? I'm sure he was just studying the Bible with them, or associating with them. You can not get baptized if you are living with someone, but are not married. That wouldn't be scriptural, and to be baptized you must try to align your life according to the scriptures, and living together unmarried is obviously one you must change before baptism. He really did pick the wrong religion to try to identify himself with.
