Just so there is no confusion, I was baptized with real water.

In a homeopathic dose probably.

Toledo UBF celebrates communion and baptism. Again, though, it is not done weekly or haphazzardly.

In my ten years of Heidelberg UBF, they celebrated exactly 1 communion and 0 baptisms. (The 1 communion happened because one UBF-untypic Korean missionary who had been in a real church before and who strongly insisted. After he left UBF, there was no other communion.) (The son of the leader was still not baptized when I left UBF, when he was about 20 years old, though he was considered to be a "shepherd". Another Iranian shepherd asked to be baptized, but it was put off and probably he is still not baptized.) There was no single Bible study or sermon or anything about baptism or communion in my 10 years of UBF. Is this what you call "dealing carefully" with these issues?
