I don`t know that youngster`s getting baptized is such a bad thing as I previously did.
Think about it .
Pre-teens have a lot to contend with growing up as we all know , hormones , puberty ,etc.etc.,you know the deal .
They are going to make mistakes , because of immaturity etc. , and fall foul of of the Elders and be brought before a JC committee , and are either DF , or marked as a bad association , or reproved .and they are children .
Any parent with any sense of responsibility for their child should know this is an insane policy that needs to be addressed .
That could be a wake up call , not only to the child but also their parents .
Who in their right mind expects children to behave like adults., apart from Jehovah`s Witnesses of course .
Hopefully they will wake up that this is a controlling cult , that requires absolute obedience , not to GOD , but to the Governing Body of imperfect humans.standing in the place of GOD.
