    Just a thought.......

    Are they lowering the water levels, or doing baptisms in kiddie pools?

    I'd guess water levels. But on another note there will probably be a child baptismal pool with Caleb and Sofia's large faces on the pool floor in the future.

    The point of JW baptism, (correct me if I'm wrong blondie) is that every part of the person needs to go under the water, so shallow pools wouldn't allow for that.

    True story bout that. One assembly an elderly gent was getting baptized, he was very small and frail and you could have knocked him over by breathing on him. Anyway, each time the brother dunked him the man's legs would pop up so after several unsuccessful attempts at total submersion another bro had to hold his legs down so total immersion could take place.

    Absolutely hil-ar-ious to watch.
