And Eric, how in the world did the brother almost drop you in the water when you were baptized? Ouch.
Well that's at least better than coming up outta the water with the top of your bathing suit down in the water, and being oblivious to what happened because everyone's calling your name and smiling, you look around thinking they're smiling, etc, because they're happy for you and so you smile back all the time wondering why the brother who baptized you keeps looking away until your teacher brings your attention to what happened so you look down and horrors there's the thing floating though still attached to the rest of your bathing suit so afterwards at the meeting you ask your congregation servant if you can get baptized again because of what happened and he says no.
Yep. Almost being dropped was pretty bad.

Oh yeah! That was a long time ago... 32 years. And I still remember feeling the water creeping up my nose! The brother who baptized me was a pretty fair size, although not as tall as me. For some reason, during that instant he had me under the water I heard him say something like, "Whoops!" That, I'm sure you would understand, was very disconcerting to hear that. No, he wasn't trying to hold me under for longer than necessary. He apologized afterward and told me he just lost his footing, and almost let go! And, no, I didn't ask if I could get baptized again.
I never lost my swim trunks though.

Lol. Yep the things some went through eh?
But I'm glad u didn't lose your swim trunks
Hmmm, aren't we glad the slave doesn't allow swim wear for baptism anymore. And how happy I am you made it through that mishap. Seriously.
