That is great veerji but let me point out.. that is a very odd case because i can guarantee you that most of the time, people get put off rather than staying in ...
I can give many examples from my own family and friends, and stories i heard of others from friends and family ... im sure all you have examples too ... all i wana say is that look at this from a western perspective... a guy/girl raised in the western part of the world.. knows his/her whole family is amritdhari ... may decide to take amrit in the future but the family is pressuring to take amrit rite now. This breaks the effort or even slight thinking of ones to take amrit and come to that side... I know for a fact cuz i know when my sisters are told to be like me (where im amritdhari), they hate it, they hate it a lot when people tell them be like your brother... they dont want to take amrit like that.. but now they are doing the step on their own and guru kirpa naal both of my sisters will one day take amrit .. and by their choice not someone elses..
All im saying is pressuring/forcing any of that stuff is WRONG .. and should not be done even if you think that some will benefit BECAUSE who are we to judge that this person MAY benefit from it ... we dont know ... so dsaying that we can force someone because they in the future will love sikhi ... NO !! This is untrue and most of the time it wont happen... guru kirpa naal it has happened to a family such as sikh2themax.. but we shouldnt take this into consideration that we should force people..
just my two cents...

srry!.... i didnt mean to say it was right but also didnt mean to say it was wrong!.. thats jus an example that i had used.. and yes bhaji u are right.... people shouldn't be forced/pressured at all and that they should always take amrit wen they feel they are ready!... but let me also point out that sometimes even if its by choice it does not always work out cause sometimes u either get lead into the wrong crowd or jus choose not to be amrit dari! anymore... iv'e seen this happen many times... i guess as its said ever thing happens for a reason... whats ment to be is ment to be we can not change that... Also everyone has their own oppnion on everything so i would also like to say that im not saying ne ones wrong so don't take me wrong! :TH:
