It somehow never set well with me that if a boy got baptized that his mother couldn't pray or hold a study with him or in his presence without a headcovering. Maybe some of you were baptized as a boy in the home...how did that make you feel? ( like knowing you had rank over your Mom???) Not to mention, this kid would be expected to take the lead in a field service meeting if only sisters showed up. Any stories out there?
The young elder topic made me think of this

I feel the same attending the Catholic Church. Calling a priest ,who is a lot younger than me, Father. I guess it’s a sign of respect

joe134cd a little off topic from where I started, but what about the scripture Matt 23:9 where Jesus said not to call anyone on earth "father" for you only have one father who is in heaven. I worked for a man once who called himself Father Sta??? and I always made sure to address him as Mr. Sta???( don't remember his religion, but it wasn't Catholic) Maybe calling them Father is a respect to them, but clearly in conflict with Jesus's statement. It makes you wonder how/why they dare to usurp God's position.

I was baptised at a young age, that never stopped my Mum and big sister giving me a hard time though…… You can make all the rules you like but it doesn’t stop the reality of home life being what it is .

Jesus being the third person of the trinity doctrine.,one of the GODHEAD.
