Do you think your baptism is still valid?

    I got baptised about 25 years ago and was told the new system would be here by now.

    Along with a lot of other false promises.

    So the answer for me would be NO!!!

    Nope, but I had an unbaptism. I denounced WTS and declared that they withheld information from me, so my baptism was no longer considered valid. I burned some WT literature. It was very cleansing.

    Everyone should consider it.

    not the one with the WTS
    or the one with the RCC
    when i was an infant

    i suspect the only thing that grants
    validity to a baptism is belief in the
    affiliated institution

    i renounce it all!

    I really don't know -- now the new baptismal question ignores "baptized in the name of the Holy Spirit" so when I was baptized, it was included -- does'nt the holy spirit need to be in the questions asked now -- Matt 28:19.20 and as I am still in, do I just comply with this erroneous question to be answered with a "yes" ??

    So maybe my baptism is not valid now....

    Nope. I was 17 (under age) and it was a lifetime contract. Contracts should time out and I don't mean with your death or a punishment. There should be a dignified way to get out of it.

    I don't think a JW baptism means anything to God

    I don't feel like it ever was to begin with. I was 11, the elders coached me through the answers to the questions, and I only did it because my mother made me. I don't owe them anything.

    I was baptized when I was a baby.

    When I was about 11 years old, I followed along with some T.V. preacher who said a prayer of salvation in the name of Jesus.

    I was baptized 27 years ago as a Witness.

    I think I covered with God.

    2 baptism's and 1 prayer of salvation?

    Oh yeah.
