Every once in a while, the church changes and updates their programs to better serve the needs of the members. I personally love how these programs, while the same in purpose and desired outcome, adapt to use new technologies and relevant goals to strengthen and uplift our youth.
I also love how the changes to this program involve the family. According to the Questions and Answers section on LDS.org, the program "provides opportunities for parents and leaders to strengthen relationships with young men" and can "easily be integrated into family home evening and quorum meetings and activities."
Families are a huge emphasis throughout the church, but especially when talking about the youth. Young men need good examples and leaders to emulate. When they have these model role models in church leaders and parents, even the most troubled can find the way to becoming good men through spiritual activities and lessons.
And this program is here to help those young men find their testimonies. After years of teaching both at church and at home, the seeds that have been planted can really begin to grow during the formative years of twelve and eighteen.
I look at the young men in the ward I grew up in, and I'm amazed at the great men they have turned into. They have strong testimonies, are tender dads, and honor their priesthood. I'm certain it's in part because of this program. And I'm excited for the young men in my current ward. The changes to the Duty to God program will benefit them in ways they may not understand now, but they certainly will in years to come.
The Duty to God program takes the lofty goals of teaching young men their roles and responsibilities within the priesthood and to God and makes them accessible to the young men. It breaks them down into manageable and understandable principles that the young men can apply in their lives.
While the specific changes to the program haven't yet been announced, they'll be announced and materials will become available between June and August.

It’s a propaganda-fest!!

Well, since the only things posted are articles and words of YOUR church, then I am glad to see that you realize LDS articles ARE PROPAGANDA.
So, yeah, it is an LDS propaganda fest.
I don't know any "anti-Mormons". point them out to me please.
The Inmans are here, of which I'm one but we are anti-Mormonism, not anti-Mormon.
Read Tennessee Nana's reply at #10, then if you are a praying person, pray for all who are in this cult that their eyes may be opened.
You are correct there is much propaganda today.
lds publish lots of stuff.
So wouldn’t that make it lds propaganda?
so shameful and repulsive but this is acceptable in the Telestial kingdom
Just because you may disagree with the content, doesn't give you license to disparage the people who posted the content.
Your own behavior is on display.
And it has always bother you because you know I am right!
You forgot I have nothing to be envious or jealous of it is not I who lefe truth behind for a mess of pottage....
Tsk, tsk Resty. The rules are posted on RM's page, you may want to review them again.
If you were "right" as you claim, then why do you need to disparage people?
Wouldn't you be able to answer the post(s) without resorting to name calling?
Afraid? Ha, I say "bring it on"! I stand on solid rock. I may not know all the answers but I know who does and I am safe in His arms. And......I have His book :-)
I’m sure the mods have been whined to, but...different source :-)
If you would point out the propoganda, I will be happy to have it removed.
You forgot I have nothing to be envious or jealous of it is not I who lefe truth behind for a mess of pottage....

Actually it is. You left your Christian upbringing for a lie from the pit of Hell (Mormonism), although i do suspect you were never really a Christian to begin with, perhaps a head knowledge but not a heart one.
But I promise you that the truth is NOT found in Mormonism,or any other ‘church’, it is ONLY FOUND IN CHRIST. And Mormons have a very different Christ.
C’mon resty, we have told you the truth, it is time to surrender to Jesus ALONE.
Amen, Sister!
Resty it’s the exact same subject of the thread you posted. If its shameful and repulsive, well, so be it. But I notice you were drawn over here like a moth to a flame. You were *attracted* rather than repulsed. Why do you think that is?
Oh yawn, go caucii something.
I never said the article was repulsive I said the anti demeanor is that of barnacles...
bottem feeders and this type of behavior is not good for those going through health challenges!
How can you tell the truth when it is not in you!

Ah, but the Truth IS in me. I have the indwelling of the Holy Ghost as a blood washed Christian. He will never leave me, the Bible promises that.
AFA, seeing the lies of Mormonism, that is just common sense.
ROFL.
d this type of behavior is not good for those going through health challenges!

I thought your garmies were supposed to prevent that? ;)
Seriously, I’m sorry if you have been sick, though. How can we pray for you?
It's ok Resty, it was just generally understood.
And, do I understand your veiled reference to my illness? Would you even be so low and evil as to use personal, private information that you have been trusted with AGAINST ME?
I can't think of anything more revealing of an ugly spirit.
I know LOTS of things about you but I would never refer to them in a public forum. You really, really ought to be ashamed of yourself.
