Talk:Hel 7:6-10

Verse 10: I wonder if it was common for Nephi to pray like this on the tower or if he was doing this hoping to get the attention of those around him. From the context it seems to me that he wasn't necessarily hoping to attract a great deal of attention when he began. He just was expressing his sorrow for the people. If that is the case it would suggest that praying on towers was maybe part of their culture. It is interesting in light of Jesus's counsel to pray in our closets. --Matthew Faulconer 06:29, 22 Nov 2005 (UTC)
