Village Idiot: I was 14 when I joined so it made a major impact on my life.
I was 14 when I got baptized. I was so emotional over the omni-importance of that event that I wept on my way out of the men's locker room. I think my ex-mother still clings to a picture of me crying as I walked down the lower-level hallway of the MetraPark arena in Billings, Montana... so taken was I by the contract I just sealed with JEHOVAH.
"It made a major impact on my life."
I had hoped my baptism would prevent me from masturbating any more. Four days later I KNEW I would die at Armageddon!
