14, I got scared by the baptism talk from the last convention.
How old were you when you were baptized?

15 and had to get up twice during the baptismal talk to throw up. Nothing like the feeling of being forced to do something you don't wanna do.

Not old enough to see that I was joining an abusive organization....like when daughters with abusive fathers marry abusive men.

I was 12. I can remember part of me not wanting to go through with it. I was so nervous and freaked out. Two of my friends who were baptized the same day had already gone through the line and gotten dunked and they were like you aren't in line yet?! I said umm...no...not yet.Then I went and got in the line like a good little witness girl.

I was 16.........scared of dying at armaggeddon....had no clue, really, of what I was getting myself into. I did it also because a lot of my friends were also being baptized at the same time.
I was not in my "right" mind either that day.....if you catch my drift....

I was 18. All my friends were getting baptized and my parents were giving me the hairy eyeball, so I thought, what the heck.
