Welcome!
"That whole baptism thing was entirely against my will by the way. I can remember it like it was yesterday. The congregation I was in had a lot of teenagers around the same age, and one year almost all of them were baptized at the same convention. A few weeks after that particular convention, the next thing I know my grandmother is telling everyone that at the next convention I would be dedicating my life to Jehovah. Needless to say that was quite a surprise for me. I knew I couldn’t say no so I just went through with it. "
That is sickening. And JWs like to comment at meetings on how hard the peer pressure is for Jehovah's lovely little ones at school. I was pressured into getting baptized too. But I went in willingly because the pressure had convinced me that baptism was the right thing to do and that I must have had a "bad attitude" for not wanting to get dunked.
