you know how at every baptismal talk they say to the candidates that they should 'make a note of this date June, 4 whatever..ect'? and everyone knows that date for like the rest of their life?
well i dont remember when i was baptized. i never never made a note of it and simply forgot over time. i know i was when i was around 17 or 18. being born in the org it there always came a point where you had to get baptized or there was something wrong with you. for most of us it was around the time we graduated from hs that we felt we couldnt hold out anymore without getting questioned as to why we werent baptized yet so we did it. i never understood what they meant though when they said we were supposed to have some kind of personal relationship with Jehovah in which we were to give ourselves over to him (i cant remember what they called that first step). i never felt anything special when i decided to get baptized. i just memorized the answers to the questions they ask and did it.
anyway, i cant for the life of me remember the date or year. but one thing is for sure Dec 25 2001 is a date that i will not likely ever forget. its the date i found this site. its the date i realized that there is hope for me and my son. its the date i began my healing and it was one of the, if not 'the' happiest day of my life.
