I don't know the reason behind the letter, and I also don't remember the wording used. I find it edifying to hear from the occasional kid who truly does know the Lord, but I sure didn't at a young age, and I don't think anyone I hung around with did either.
I only have a guess, that may be accurate or not. My guess is, it dawned on people that when investigators came to our church, they got turned off by child after child paraded in front of the microphone, belting out the exact same words that they were taught to say about how they know this and they know that. If I was looking for God's true church, such a spectacle would surely turn me off.
