Pouring is the prefered method and some do pour three times (about a spoonful) in rapid succession while the minister proclaims the authority of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. However, immersion is acceptable, and I know of some cases where it was requested and granted.
I don't know that any Old Orders allow the internet, and most do not allow the computer....
BUT!!!! They do have telephone chat lines that operate very much like this very forum, and are run by moderaters complete with threads, news, even some "gossip", AND banning by way of blocking phone numbers. YES I have the pin numbers and NO I ain't sharing them!
