    My dad used filmstrips and a flannel board on his mission. I used six set lessons. This new-fangled Preach My Gospel manual is for coddling youngsters who can’t handle memorization.

    Having said that, this new manual includes teachings that were anti-Mormon lies 30 years ago.

      Oooooh, like what?

        They are spinning a positive angle to keep kids from being weirded out by stuff they learn online.
