I've been against baptism before the age of 21 for a long time. As I learned in college while getting my Psych degree, pressuring young children this way is a form of child abuse. There is emotional and psychological damage to young people when they are prodded to do this. No one under 21 has a full understanding about what his life will be like if he gets disfellowshipped and his wife and children leave him. This happened to me and I barely survived it, and I was baptized at 27 after six years of on and off studies.
Children are pushed to get baptized at an early age so that the WT can hold them up as an example and brag to the world about its "dedicated servants". These children will have no normal childhood and will suffer the rest of their lives. Parents are also to blame since they urge their children to do this and then brag about how young their child was. It's total ego bullshit.
Watchtower, when are you going to stop being hypocritical jackasses??? Do you think the world isn't smart enough to figure you out?? You don't even fool the rank and file anymore. That's why they are leaving in droves. It's over. Surrender now or be executed.
