12 in 1960. I knew exactly what I was getting into: that baptism would give me a magic shield from being destroyed at Armageddon(tm).
That's why I did it. I needed that magic shield. For protection. God would fuck me up without that magic shield, so I got one.
Well, Armageddon didn't happen as planned, so my magic shield didn't protect me as I thought it would. But I was sucked into a sewer of religious insanity, and my magic shield, which was supposed to protect me, turned out to be my enemy.
There was NO Armageddon, no need for my magic shield, but they now OWNED me and my magic shield could no longer protect me from THEM.

Oh I love this question, I was 16, I think. I have tried to block this entire time out of my life. Haha.
I so remember it now, it's all coming back. If I only knew what I was getting into, I would have never done it. I did it because it was expected of me, a natural step, even when I had nagging questions about it. There was a lot of battling in my family with some of the congregation and I did it to make a stand, which in itself was stupid.
