Blues Brother is 100% correct. In JW lingo, ordained minister is not the same as clergy in other Christian religions. Elders and higher are legally considered JW clergy (and before someone says anything about there being no JW clergy see every child abuse court case where the WTS sucessfully argued clergy privilege for their elders & COs)
However, the comments about child baptism being unusual is most certainly not the case in the English speaking congregations in the US. For example, at a DC I recently attended with around 7,000 folks there were around 35 baptized. Of that number, the youngest was 9, the oldest was in her 70s. But, I kept count and of the 35 that were baptized, 25 of them appeared to be 18 or younger. And, no I didn't ask each one for their ID but they were clearly very young. In my opinion and experience with children, there is little difference between an infant getting baptized and a 9 year old. Especially when the penalty of changing your mind at a later date means being cut off from your entire social and support circle.
As for young kids getting pregnant, it is a huge SOCIETIAL problem. Again, a local example in local congregation here in the past 2 years, 4 different girls (1 - 16, 1-17,1-19 and 1 - 22) ALL unmarried, all pregnant. There are only 10 girls in that age range in the congregation. I'm not saying that 40% of the teenage JW kids are having kids out of wedlock, but to make the statement that it doesn't happen is outrageous. I would venture to say that the instance of JW teenage pregnancy is on par with the rest of society as we know from the Pew report that their divorce rate is about the same as the general population.
Bottom line, JWs are no different from society in having family problems. However, that flies in the whole "spiritual paradise" claim that JWs are the happiest, most well adjusted group on the planet - comments that I've directly heard from WTS representatives including GB members.
