Yup, more dying than being baptized.

1329 attendance 6 baptized
One 10 year old ( parents had experience during afternoon sesh), the rest most likely teens/young adults and one guy that looked 40s-50s.

What are the chances of it being coincidental?
I wonder how this was contrived - the WTS learned a 10 year old was getting dunked so that 'earned' the family an assembly part or the kid was pushed to get baptised to boost their assembly part?

Simon - Ha, interesting point! They had a cringe-worthy interview nonetheless of the ultimate do-gooder variety traipsing said child all over the U.S. in an RV staying places only months at a time with RBC and need-greater work. When the line "She's been our sister for an hour" came out, I wanted to hurl. I can't even imagine taking the dunk at that young of an age before you hit your developing teen years. Will love to see where the story ends up in 10 more years! -

So basically home-schooled (probably non-schooled) by religious nuts who surprise, surprise, indoctrinated the poor kid to dedicate themselves to the same cult.
As a reward for sacrificing their child's future on the alter of Jehovah they get a round of applause at an assembly.

Since I'm not a big believer in coincidence, I'd say... zip.
