How many of you were baptised at a young age?

one thing this site has made me reflect on the baptism practice in jw land.. many of us were raised in the religion, thus you were given the pressure early on to shoot for baptism as a goal.. i remember feeling bad because i waited until the ripe old age of 14 to take the plunge.. looking back, i realize that when i was 14, i didnt even know what my favorite color was, let alone have enough knowledge to make a life altering decision.

yet, growing up in that climate, i would say anyone who waited past their early teens to get baptised was viewed with great suspicion and was likely to be viewed as "bad association".

kids who took the dip at 8-9 years of age were viewed as "wise beyond their years" and the like.. how old were some of you when you were baptised, and what are your feelings on the matter?.

i have a HUGE issue with this.

I was tricked ( baptised ) at 13-14. At that time, I thought that I knew what I was doing, but obviously I didn't. The real issue that I have with this is, you cannot do the following in the USA until you are mature:

Drink - Usually 21 years old

Join the millitary- 18 years old

Sign a contract ( credit card for example - 18 years old.

If the government even understands that children are not mature enough to commit to a binding contract, why doesn't this religion? I view being baptised the same was I do as joining the millitary. You should be willing to give your life for your country if you join th millitary, and in the JW's you are expected to give your live by not excepting blood.

This makes me VERY ANGRY!!!!! Ok, I need tocalm down now

i was at a worldy funeral the other day and say those little prayer cards on a table.

i thought to myself, wouldn't it be great to buy a bunch of these and drop a few every once in a while at the hall.

you could do it for months and drive the attendants crazy looking for them before anyone sees them and gets stumbled.. any fun tricks that you can think of?.

I also have a few joints that I could drop in the elders bags or in the library right before the CO visit LOL

Well, Cong Overseer to be technically correct due to the recent change. I figured most people would know/remember PO more than the new wording.

Just happened 2-3 days ago so I can't wait to see what happens. I assume that he will at least be deleted and probably publically reproved. I doubt DF unless they can prove this stealing has been going on for a while.
