Well, I'm looking....
The best example I could fine a bit quickly, is in Consolation 2/19/41, page 3. There a pioneer is extremely proud that his 37 DAYS OLD girl was taken out "in the field" - and that she has been with them "through thick and thin, good and bad weather" ever since!
But the lieterature is flooded with stories about extremely young children witnessing - also ALLONE. Here is a few of the places you can look it up:
Consolation 11/26/41 page 20 talks about a 4 year ols girl named June Marie who is a regular publisher.
They show a picture of a 3 year old, but calls this "play".
Yearbook 66 talks about a 5 year old publisher (page 92-93), Yearbook 63, page 280 talks about a 6 year old publisher. Yearbook 65, page 223 talks about a publisher 4 1/2 years old.
Awake! 6/8/72 page 24 talks about a four year old publisher. KM 8/73 is telling about a 6 year old publisher conducting Bible studies, Golden Age 4/17/29 page 471 talks about a five year old master-publisher, and KM 6/82 stresses the importance of "Children should be trained at a very early age to accompany their parents in the field ministry." (italics the Watchtower)
1070 yearbook page 94 talks about a 6 year old conducting Biblestudies, and the Yearbook 75 page 14 talkes about a publisher that has been conducting Biblestudies since the age of four.
Absolutely disgusted
