She is in the Philippines... the majority of the people are religious very much so.... The JWs there ironically belive in a 'paradie gospel' so she will continue to belive this until she dies or the JWs crash...

So is she a minister?

Unless there's some finer point that the Society puts on the word "minister", any kid is a minister if they are even an unbaptized publisher.

There are children her age that still believe in Santa clause. Shouldn't the WTS BS at least be consistent. They talk about so many reasons why they would not be ready for marriage. Yet this is a lifetime commitment that is supposed to be so much more important than marriage.

She looks so young and small, not much older than my son. My son talks constantly about the meaning of life, where life began, religion, yet I couldn't imagine thinking he was ready to commit himself to a particular belief for the rest of his life.
My wife is a Filipina and her family are JW's, Catholic, Inglesi de Christo, and Mormon; and my wife I think believes in God but not religion. One JW changed to Mormon. They really love their high control religious groups.

It's a travesty. If it were simply a harmless profession of faith it wouldn't be so bad, but for the baptism to be used against the children later in life(the threat of disfellowshipping) is just plain wrong. No country in the world would hold a minor accountable like that.
