    13 years old boy has been baptized!

    This month I went to a circuit assembly (North/West Germany) to spy what is going on and too keep me up to date with teachings and Jehovah's Witnesses language. After the assembly was over I just happened to see a father congratulating his child for being baptized. I asked the father how old he is and he replied: "He is 13 years old". I didn't give any comment to his reply. But it seems to me that new baptized are getting younger and younger. There were 1805 visitors and 11 baptized on December 3rd. Teenies at that age aren't able to make such a decision without being aware of the grave impact this decision have in their life. This boy is now subject to the disfelloshipping-clause in case of committing a "sin" - many Teenies are subject to the disfelloshipping-clause.

    I was 12 when I got baptized and that was 20 years ago.

    Ah but Auldsoul I see that you are 33 so that means it was more than 20 years ago for you.
