I am new to this forum with this first post: There was a lot of talk about me being baptised when I was about 14. Many of the boys my age were being baptised then. I felt it was too early, even though I was very devout, so much so that I read all of the old (Rutherford) books that were in the library. (Which later also turned out to be my undoing). As a result I never did become baptised and one year later I had very serious doubts and I stopped going to the Kingdom Hall over the objections of my father.
It was a very fortunate thing however as it turned out, or otherwise had I been disfellowshipped would have presented a far greater problem for me and my family. And that was 37 years ago.
