From what I've been told, they baptised a 8 year old in College Station this past weekend.
As if an 8 year old is supposed to completely understand the depth of making that type of decision.

I noticed that there are many young kids in our congregation...and most of them will get baptized at a too young age...and then when they turn 18, many will leave.I guess that most baptisms these days are JW children rather than pure strangers who accepted a bible study.

The Society is really after the very young these days to get baptized. That way they have a better chance of keeping them under thier control with the threat of DF if they leave or screw up. Hey they ain't get any new members so young children is a way to boost the number and keep them under thier control with threats.

Frankie's right.
Inside the org, early baptism is viewed as a protection..
I got baptized at 16, knowing I could be DFed or DA myself and make it stick. That was my plan...
