Nothing that sinister I'm afraid, ex-nj. I'm pretty sure he just wants sweetstuff to give him a spanking. But he was being too subtle.

To quote Gary Oldman's character from Hannibal; "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
Honestly, I was 10 years old. My dad was the PO and had gotten baptized himself at age 11, so there was the living-up-to-your-dad's-expectations bit. As well as the pressure from the other elders and kids my age in the congo.
Everyone knows 10 year olds are well qualified to make lifelong decisions right?

I felt different (and I actually did)
Clouds open up? Any pigeons poop?
LOL!
No, but it was outside.
And it was the good old days where I actually had my shirt off. None of this T-shirt on baptism for guys silliness.
Not to derail this thread, but I am curious about what happens in different parts of the world during baptism...do the guys all wear shirts in to the water now? And do the girls all where long t-shirts that cover their bottoms?

I got baptized so my father would quit hounding me.

I did not want to die at Armageddon. When I got baptised Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were on the world stage. I truly thought nuclear war was a distinct possibility
