I think it symbolizes death and rebirth. (death of the old, evil soul and rebirth as a brand new Christian soul.) Also Jesus was baptized in that manner, and all hardcore Christians like to emulate Jesus. The reason there is a debate over baptisms being shown in the wetlook communuity is that for many of the people getting dunked, this is a life-changing experience or at least a high point in their religious journey. So viewing a baptism as wetlook sort of trivializes it in some people's minds. However, once a couple of years ago a lady who is a Christian as well as a wetlook fan got baptized and posted pictures of her baptism service to the forum for everyone's enjoyment!

A lot of places do baptisms in sucky white or colored robes that make for very poor wetlook, but these dress-up-and-get-dunked ceremonies sure get my attention. I'd love to see the video of this event!

A question about Baptism

Hi,

can anyone explain, why they do this ritual? For me it seems like a large wetlook party (I know that it is not!). So does anyone know something about this? Thx.

Dozens of women all dressed in regular clothes, getting baptized with before and after pics. Sweaters, jeans, etc with over 600 pics - this is the best baptism I've ever seen!
