Helklo Ozziepost,
excellent comments from you and all the others.
Just ...onother man made rule.
Another point: few lines further down on the same
watchtower it is written (about a young baptized son)
the following: " She may feel that he is not yet sufficiently
capable and may choose to offer prayer herself."
Now, the WBTS Inc., did write sometime ago that
only baptized members have: "...unlimited acced to Jehovah
through the prayer...".
So capable of making a life dedication to Jehovah God,
but "...not yet sufficiently capable..." to pray to Him???
Greetings to you all,
J.C.MacHislopp
