    16, mainly because I was lusting for a 14 yr. old girl that was already dipped.

    undercover, I used the VERY SAME line of reasoning with my ex when explaining to him my wishes that he not encourage our children to get baptized before they were adults... He agreed with the reasoning, but then said he was a teen and he was ready... Um, no he wasn't. He thinks he was NOW, but he told me and showed in his behavior MANY times that he most definitely was NOT ready at that time. Nor was he ready to get married in his early 20's (neither was I).

    I was 13 when I got baptized. I did it because everyone else my age was and also because I thought it would "clear up" the doubts I had because then I'd have "holy spirit" helping me for sure!! And I'd be accepted in our congregation (finally). I'd be a part of the club, I wouldn't be treated like chattal, I'd have FRIENDS.

    Yeah...right...

    Coffee, 8 is just crazy. I used to see 12 year olds get baptised and thought even at that age it was wrong.

    13. I didn't do it because I wanted to, I did it because I felt like everyone was thinking I should.

    12. It would have been earlier, but my parents made me wait until I was ready.
