All Witnesses are ministers. From the time a Witness is baptized, they are considered ministers. This religion is getting more ridiculous each passing day.😳

Aren't they "ministers" from the time they become publishers? -

Yes, but not "ordained" until immersed into the Org! -

They want to give the impression of baptizing people when they are supposedly old and mature enough to realize what they’re doing – which in WT world is apparently just old enough to start school – but while at the same time making sure that they get baptized – and thus feel “committed” to the WT organization and bound to it through family ties – early enough so that it’s before they would get a chance to investigate and discover TTATT.
That way, the WT can have it both ways – old enough to have outgrown their original infant/baby clothes, but still quite young enough to not dare to check the real facts and actually think for themselves!

If a 5 year old "qualifies" for baptism, what's that say about the adults that join in?
so terrible

Yes it is.

Calling children "ministers" is really no more ridiculous than the Mormon church calling 20 year olds elders.

5 year old boys who are baptized have more clout than 40 year old sisters. I would love to hear a prayer with a sister and her bible student.
