  My little brother had a cast on his arm when he was baptixed. He had his cast covered with a bread bag if I remember correctly. Well there was always some doubt as to whether his baptixm counted or not. Eh bule?

  Isn't that the most stupid rule, they did the same thing to my ex-husband when we got baptized back in 1971 and it surprised me that they still did the same dumb thing to people now. It is just plain silly and a stupid rule.

  Another old thread resurrected!

  As long as we're on the subject, I was to be dunked with another teen simultaneously. Unfortunately the other gal started to be dunked b4 my baptist was done with counting to 3. He thought we wanted to go under at the exact same moment, so he just said, "Ok, on the count of 3, here we go, 1--" DUNK!! Having been the victim of my JW cousins trying to drown me on several occassions (one of them is appropriately an elder now, with a giant superiority complex), I responded instictually by struggling and kicking. (Truly, he is lucky I didn't do more out of pure instinct, like scratch etc.) I came up coughing and trying to get the water out of my nose. Pleasant.

  So he said I had to be dunked a 2nd time because my leg came out of the water. Once again, he felt the need to use the Stealth Method of baptism and shoved me under the water b4 the 1-2-3 count was done. I kicked again.

  He said it was not a sufficient sign that I was dead to my sins, so I had to try it a 3rd time, which unfortunately was successful (I think).

  I was married by a Chevy auto mechanic and part time janitor. He insisted we have our vows include a promise to change our car oil every three thousand miles, and scrub our office floors with Pinesol. It was weird.
