In that case thank you for the correction, I was under the impression this was largely a CoE thing. I wonder if theres a way to make sure people aren't counting you as a member for subsidy claims without your knowledge... Someone should handle a system that keeps track of which names are in each list so, people can search their own name and see all the organisations currently claiming them as members. It may be extreme but, that makes me an unhappy demon to know that they might get away with it.
For the reason just stated by WWLD I don't really see baptisim as wrong, it does nothing to you and the only power it has over you is the power you give it. Of course you do need to officially leave the church but the baptisim ceremony is just a bunch of fancy hocus pocus, little different from your parents dressing you up like a cowboy for a picture at Wal-Mart. At least, unless you choose to make the ceremony more.
In all honestly though I could just be acting completely insensitive to people who have been baptised, I think I was but, I was far too young to remember and couldn't care less now. If I'm sounding that way it is not my intention.
