Yes, there are river baptisms in the US (particularly the south too), but I'm not particularly aware of crocodiles in Jamaican waters.

People who are raised somewhere know the hazards.

When you are making wreaths, do you use the small limbs of manchineel trees, or sit under them in the rain?

No, of course you don't.

Pretty sure that people who live to adulthood in areas with crocodiles are not so stupid as to have baptisms where they know there are going to be crocodiles.

next time they do this perhaps they won't do the full immersion technique... lapfog_1 Jun 2018 #1
