I cannot find any reference in either handbook to whether or not an investigator who has a criminal conviction, and is currently on probation, can be baptized. The investigator meets all other worthiness criteria for baptism. Can anyone point us to policy/direction? Thanks!

For those wanting a reference, Handbook 1: 16.3.14. It depends on some extent on what they're convicted of.
