I like your analysis.

@anglophone right,but too late you have "inspired" at least 7 posts on this thread full of totally unnecessary vitriol towards others. Good on you.......

Then why the total immersion? I suggest you read the article before shooting from the hip.

@anglophone Baptists do total immersion here. Non-issue.

@UUNJ Thanks for sharing that.

@anglophone stupid hidebound priest, duuuuhhh...or maybe the parents requested it? Also duuuhhh

@anglophone i have read several articles on this story. Which is where got the Facts that support my post!

@AnneWimsey Would you care to share the relevant links?

@anglophone how about going to the website of the actual denomination itself, duuuuhhhhhh.
But no, that would be doing some thinking instead of posting pejorative nonsense...
I dislike, intensely, religion in any form, but posting stupid " baby-killer" nonsense does no one any good, makes reasoning atheists look exactly like Q-anon yelling " pizzagate"

@anglophone, @UUNJ i was baptized using total immersion! Font, about 6' x 6' x 3' deep, ringed by steps to go down into it, for older kids & adults, built into the church behind the altar. Infants sprinkled on the head at Christening,from a portable small basin brought out for the purpose. This was 50++ years ago in a non-evangelist protestant church in the Northeast. Lutherans, Presbyterians, etc all had the same type of setup...nobody drowned. To tar & feather a probably older, foolish priest because one dire thing happened makes us look as nasty as Q-anon yelling "pizzagate"

@AnneWimsey One web site does not equate to "several articles on the story", and it does not take much thinking to make that observation. Who said anything about making you looking nasty?

@anglophone no,I SAID I read several articles,I suggested You go to the website of the denomination. If you cannot understand simple sentences, it is no wonder you post nasty & divisive BS without one moment's thought!
Have you read some of the horrid posts you have inspired on this thread!?? Which i said, The Posts in reply were nasty...again, try reading!
SHAME ON YOU!

@AnneWimsey I will not be shamed by anybody who offers just a single web site when she says "several articles on the story". Perhaps you should own your own shame? Perhaps it is you who should start thinking?

@anglophone still cannot read or understand, i see.
Too bad, so sad that you ignorantly stir up the anthill just like drumpy,but take no responsibility for your nasty actions based on Nothing.
So,yes,SHAME ON YOU!

@AnneWimsey Goodbye.
