preventing baptism of minors
by og inhere is the situation: my wife is a very faithful true believer (and a wonderful person, i will add, who really wants to do what's right) i have been da'd about a year, and we have 2 children.
our oldest is 13, and really buys into the witness line ( as, of course, i professed to until last summer) and i am fairly sure she is considering baptism.
here is my question: as one half of her parents, is there any legal doctrine that would allow me to prevent her baptism until she is 18?

if she gets baptized, moves out, and is faithful I'm gonna lose a lot years that way as well, wouldn't you say? What with her refusing to speak to me and all?
{{{og}}}....I have to admit that I had not even thought about that. That is another thing you may want to bring up to her. I really hope the best for you and your family.

You have to realize she may never come to the understanding that you have. Is it worth a possible damaged relationship in trying to control the situation?

I don't mean to sound disrespectful but it makes me wonder by your responses if you even have your daughters best interest in view or if this crusade is really for you to prove a point?
BTW, I also have a daughter that is 13.

og..
It's possible that could work..and possible it may not. Now is the time you want to be in her life. I don't know what kind of relationship you have with her but I do know that whatever happens now if she takes your interference the wrong way then you could loose many valuable years with her. There may never come that time when she appreciates what was done through interference.
You said that she is already quick to tears now, that is a clue within itself. It would be better to have years with her now and later. She is at a time when she really needs you...these are crucial years in her life.
You have to realize she may never come to the understanding that you have. Is it worth a possible damaged relationship in trying to control the situation?
My Father opposed (I'm not talking major opposition..but just enough) my mother and I can tell you that it did affect me. I did not realize what he was doing or my other family members until last year. My parents did eventually end up in divorce and we moved out of state. I lost my whole lifetime with him... years I'll never be able to get back for me or for him.

I can understand how this would be a worry for you..once you're baptized it's as if belonging to the Mafia once your in you can't leave without consequences.
Legally I don't know if there is anything you can do. I really don't think that would be the route to take.
If your daughter is buying into this as you say she is. She would most likely think any interference from you would be a form of persecution and may make her feel stronger in her convictions not to mention could damage your relationship.
I suggest backing her up in whatever decision she makes and then just be there if the dominoes ever start to fall. I know as a parent we want to protect our children from any form of hurt but sometimes the best form of teaching is to let one make mistakes..it not only can build strength but can make a more caring and understanding person of them. Living life is a form of trial & error something that helps us learn along the way
There is really no way we can make another see the org. for what it is until they are ready to see it for themselves.
I do suggest asking her thought provoking questions that would make her want to dig in deep and research things a little more. Talk to her about what that dedication means ..not in terms of serving God, but how it will affect her by doing it through man.
Whatever happens I wish you luck and again stress...Just be there for her.

It may not help now but if you don't recover it ..I think you can count it on next years taxes. Just keep the records of the police report.

Did you ever fake field service?
by LyinEyes ini know this was very wrong to do , but who out there stretched their field service time by any means possible?
example, letter writing, driving by the same house , when you knew no one was home.
