Just turned 14. Don't remember the date. Some time around 1991 I guess.
How old were you when you were baptized?

All of 13. I can't believe most of you were 17 and older. Everyone I know was baptized younger than 16.

Jesus waited till he was 30 why don't people imitate this?

I can't agree with Moomanchu more - as 'true' christians don't they understand that it was for a good reason that Jesus waited until he was 30 to get baptised and he was perfect!
What hope does a teenager have of really understanding what they are doing and what consequences their decision will bring?
I did two things in life too early - getting baptised (18years old) and getting married (at 21).
I got divorced and remarried in my early forties and am also disfellowshipped.
As my dad once said - I learn the hard way!
Still, least I'm happy now, but if I knew what I know now when I was youg I would have had many more happier years to add to the ones I'm having now. -
