Brian, No were in the baptism photo did you see anything like the photo TW posted. No were in the baptism photo did I see anyone posing, nor trying to look pervocative.
Just people at the beach some getting ready for baptism and some there to participate in the program.
I have baptize in the Ocean, Rivers, lake, streams, drainage ditches, Water Buffalo, snake infested swamps, rice paddies, horse watering troughs, swimming pools, baptistry's and bath tubs.
I have baptized men and women covered from head to toe in white garments, fully dressed in street clothes, shorts, swimming suits both single and two piece. I have baptizes ladies who were wearing cotton wraps with out anything under which is traditional. Then they held up a sheet between the men and women and they changed clothes. Did not bother me that was not what I was there for.
I have immersed them totally, I have had then kneel down and let the waves cover over them, I have sprinked one.
I can't believe all the fuss over the baptism photo. It in my opoinin was not inmodest at all.
You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.
