I wanted to get baptized at 13, but Pops told me he wanted me to be sure ( and this was 1971!! He was a cool JW Dad), so I held off till 15. We were all caught up in the pre 1975 hype.

Did you get a little pressured to get baptized young?
by outofthebox inwe saw an elder the other night trying to convince a couple of kids that they were ready to be unbaptized publishers.
and then he went and added that he was baptized very young and they should too.
so, these two kids were feeling the pressure.

Active JWsA Birthday Was Used to Preserve the Lineage of Jesus
by AuldSoul injoseph was imprisoned because of false accusations made by potiphar's wife.
he had at least two cell mates, a cupbearer and a bakerwe do not know the charges against either prisoner.. joseph's cell mates had dreams.
by god's power, he interpreted the dreams, including which day the dream prophecies would be fulfilled.

Interesting angle on this subject. I figure it all comes down to money. If we spend time, money and assets on giving importance to individuals (birthday celebrations and gifts) it leaves us less to contribute to the worldwide legal fund.
