If they ever corner me with the threat of DF ing me I will try to get mine declared invalid as I was under 18 and heavily medicated, I doubt it will work. I don't know anyone that has been. I will probably post my more through post here later or tomorrow morning. I didn't realise I'd have so much work after work that I don't think I can competantly put enough sentences together to do anything. Its a touchy issue and I really want to focus on my words.
Has anyone ever known of a baptism actually declared invalid?
I know of a girl who got baptized and then that very night got caught drunkenly sucking off a boy at a concert (I know this because I was at the same assembly and at the same concert, and I saw both things with my own eyes, unfortunately). They disfellowshipped her. I would think that would be an instance where they might nullify the baptism, if such a thing existed.
On the other hand, I have heard of things being handled very differently from congregation to congregation; for instance in my congregation they would have FREAKED OUT if I had dared show up with any facial piercings, but then I later learned that congregations in the LA, California area, for instance, many of the young girls had small pretty studs in their noses (or so I was told by someone who grew up as a JW in that area).
For whatever that is worth.
