    6 years old?? Why on earth would any organization allow a 6 year old CHILD to do this? They are barely able to read and write and go to the bathroom on their own!!! Why would his parents allow that? I can't think of any child under the age of 13 that would be able to make that kind of a lifelong decision. The parents must have been brainwashing these poor kids along with the WTS.

    This is really sad. Just disgusting. Not only do I blame the WT society for trying to inflate their numbers ( since not as many are getting baptized from the territory ) but I blame the moronic parents who manipulate the minds of these young people and don't think about the ramifications and end results if they get kicked out as teenagers from the Nazi's ( WT society ) . Makes me hot with anger and want to blow something up ! Or beat my head against a brick wall ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
