I was 14....and that seems pretty common for those that were in it young......
How in the world is a 14 year old ready to commit themselves to ANYTHING life altering?
Poll:What is the "average" age of people's baptism in the org?

I was 15 and feel the same as you, no way should I have done it.

No kidding....I was 14 too...no way that I had any idea what I was getting into...If you can't legally be married at that age, then you shouldn't be able to dedicate your life to an organization.

I was 18. Had to get baptised before we could get married in the hall.

I was baptized at 7 years old. Later when I was in my early twenties I got dumped again at an assembly, didn't think the first one was proper, since I was so young. Funny how well I can remember the first one though, my dad did it in a creek along with several others.

Just looked out the window and a little snow is beginning to fall, first this year.
