Now the fun of seeing Exmormons look at the books side by side to see what changes, for good or bad, have happened.

Rumors swirling that kinder language toward LGBTQ in the old edition has mysteriously vanished.

    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.

    It came out after my mission. And boy I was I glad to have avoided the workbook style of PMG.

    Side question: do all missionaries refer to their investigators as “friends” now or is that just my brother’s mission? I find it mildly abusive of the word friend.

      @joystick @TempleSquare
      Sounds like they are trying to convince the missionaries more than the investigators. Trying to keep them from seeing them as numbers. Too bad the mission presidents and apostles see them that way.
