And that is assuming the parents find out

IF the church did it, YOU COULD LAY MONEY ON THEM FINDING OUT. That is the sad thing. I would love to know if these parents who don't want their child getting baptized would be as upset if they smoked weed or got drunk or even got a tattoo.
I went to church with a girl who had trouble with her parents. They did not want her getting baptized, though after the pastor talked to them they consented. Yet when they would get mad at her for something they would ground her from going to church. They never grounded her from going to school functions, or other extra curricular activities but always from church functions. Once she left the church and started doing the things they all did, get drunk, sleep around, etc etc she no longer had trouble with them. Makes no sense to me.
