Why infant baptism in Jehovah's Witnesses?

by Antonio_Madaleno in

"adult baptism was not simply a question of religious dogma; it was an issue of power.

if baptism was delayed until adulthood—thus allowing a person to make a decision based on faith—some might not get baptized at all.

and individuals not baptized would, at least to a degree, remain outside the control of the church.
