  My teen daughter is being pressured to get baptized :(

  my oldest teenage daughter (15) is a publisher and goes to all meetings with her father (we divorced, he picks her up).

  i try to get her more involved in school and to spend more time with friends outside the congregation.

  i'm to the point where i'm going to simply forbid it and send her off to collage early!

  Who is pressuring her? And yes God will tell her when she is ready, no one else. When she is ready, she will let you know. I get a kick out of they judge the baptism by what Christ did LOL.... It doesn't matter, JW use the examples of what Christ did...so why get married, OMG!!! Christ didn't get married, so we shouldn't either. ALL religions pick and choose what to follow. Baptism is ordered by God when the person is ready, at any age, when the person is called to be baptized, not sooner. Being baptized has nothing to do with religion..Religion seperates Gods people. Baptize your own daughter, in the name of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit. John the Baptist was a MAN nothing special other than he was a god fearing man. Has not ordained, or a preacher, an overseerer, NOTHING but a flesh and blood man. Have your child, when ready, baptized as a "Christian"...meaning Christ like, not as a JW. Was Christ baptized as a JW? NO!!! Humans of flesh and blood make it soooo dang difficult trying to figure out what the bible really says. Yes I am a Christian, but in the hundreds of years, how many times has MAN changed the bible to serve HIS purpose, not Our Lord and Heavenly Father. Don't tell me the Bible is 100% Gods word. If any one believes that, than you are fools. So if you want to do the right thing by your child, wait till she comes to you about it. And do it yourself! You can't go wrong if you do it in the name of Jehovah (God), Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Hun pray about it...DON'T ask MAN what to do, especially online! If you truly believe in Christ dying for your sins, and God is all powerful, then he will answer you. If you don't believe GOD himself won't answer you, then you doubt him as being all powerful.
