From my perspective, you're just making yourself look petty, ignorant, and not particularly bright. You're also looking hypocritical when you "Amen" my objection to brainless attacks on Pentecostals.

I'm really glad we have freedom of speech in this country, though. I can always count on folks to reveal their true nature.

I'm 57 and this is the first time I can recall hearing of a kid drowning in a baptismal pool which is a modern concept as far as being inside the church building goes. The preacher I knew at the last church I attended used it sometimes and sometime a local creek or lake. The pool inside the church took several days to warm up because the church was on well water. Anybody in East Tennessee who watched the Heartland Series segment "The Baptism" saw him holding a Baptism service at a creek.

Death is a part of life and it can come to anyone anytime from many causes. My parents took a chance allowing me as a teen to camp out on the lake alone and I swam alone a lot of times. We also lived on a creek and I spent many a summer day in it. I was a good swimmer but still yes I could have drowned. The realistic and more probable risk to my life came when I was 16 and got a drivers license.

Wow. That’s a baptismal font! Those Mormons don’t fool around.

It was a Pentecostal church. The teen may have been thrashing about, yammering, weeping uncontrollably, shrieking, laughing or handling snakes. No time to babysit

To moderator: He requested not to hold back on the reply to his pathetic comments:

You are vile scum. And chances are so is anyone that had anything to do with raising you. If I had a zot button your infected, puss filled mind would be gone by now.

You are very angry. You are confusing me with ray76 on post 10. But I do find your verbiage amusing! I mean “infected puss filled mind”. That’s pretty good. That’s gold right there.

I can handle it.

Really tough skin.

How so?

I was agreeing with you. Though what I 'amened' to was fairly vague: I am disgusted by some of the comments on this thread.
