jayanna Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 Okay, so I love the Latter-Day Saint Woman manuals, part a and part b. They are cool. I can find them on LDS.org and sometimes read a lesson or two. However, I have never been taught a lesson out of either one of them at church....are they current manuals for RS? Would it be appropriate to use the information in a lesson for a talk or RS lesson? Is the material in them considered current doctrine? I am just wondering because there is a lot of info in them that I think would be very helpful to a lot of sisters in my ward that have questions and struggles directly addressed in those manuals, but they have never been used, so I am thinking maybe that is why?

Jezebel2011 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 I have both of those and they are wonderful booksDid a search on lds.org and the answer is yes they are manuals to be used for both RS and YWWe haven't used them in our Ward either.Here is the link -The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Search Quote
jayanna Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Posted January 9, 2012 As an adult convert, I have found them very helpful and instructive...but when a sister mentions to me a question or problem they don't understand with the gospel, if I tell them something I read from one of those manuals they act like I've gone off the deep end. I tell them to look in them, but they don't have a copy. Most of my ward are adult converts, so I think it would be useful to recommend them. I just wanted to make sure I was using current doctrine though Quote
rameumptom Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 They are designed for smaller units (branches) that may not have the strength (people wise) that a larger unit may have. But one can still use them as a resource in a ward. Quote
applepansy Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 They have been around a long time. I'll have to get my copies and see when they were printed. I know its been over 10 years ago for sure....probably longer. they are a great resource. Quote

It fills the time if nobody is participating in the typical exchange. :)I have just used them as supplements as well. They are great books, along with gospel principles. Quote
Madriglace Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 If you are talking aboutthe Lady Saint Woman with the blue cover they just came out last year. The RS manul for this year is Teachings of the Prophets, George Albert Smith and designated conference talks for 4th Sunday ... except in smaller nits this is what we are supposed to use to teach and we are asked to stick to the book and the scriptures. This makes sure that the same thing is being taught world wide. Quote

Jezebel2011 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 We haven't got our Manuals for this year yet. In fact, I have never had a RS Manual, I never knew we were supposed to have them so never got one! Quote
