The 2020, July 10, Announcement letter that we received concerning baptism pools, was actually sent from Spain.
When I asked Atlantis about this requirement of the baptism assembly touching the ground, he said it might be a requirement, or law in Spain.
I would imagine that every country has their own rules and regulations.
It's just that when I read the Announcement, it sounded weird. I have seen pictures of JW's being baptized in the back of pickup trucks, with a plastic liner filled with water. But that picture could have been in a different country.
It's the children I feel sorry for. These children at 10 and 12 years old getting baptized have no idea what they have signed up for. Many of them will be disfellowshipped by the time they are 14.
Petra!
