Holy cow! That is ridiculous! I was baptized when I was 10, and I thought THAT was young!
I am still on speaking terms with family about everythinge except JW things. About a month ago, my 14 year old neice got baptized. They didn't tell me.

This picture can cause one to have nightmares!
Wow. He is SO arrogant isnt he?
I never heard him speak before this. I guess I expected some nod to humility - but no.
Just incredible.
So in the Bible does any young person of 6 or under make a personal choice to serve God...Samuel does not count, the choice was made for him.

As soon as the boy is weaned, I must bring him, and he must appear before Jehovah and dwell there to time indefinite,” she says. When Samuel is weaned, perhaps when he is three years of age or somewhat older, Hannah takes him to live at Jehovah’s sanctuary, just as she vowed.—1 Samuel 1:21-24; 2 Chronicles 31:16.
