You want the Reader's Digest version of the Young Women's program? It's all on lds.org under Young Women.

Of course, only active faithful LDS should feel qualified to comment negatively on the church - right?

Let's try this out in other contexts

"I've not really been in prison for a couple of decades."

Yet you feel qualified to comment negatively on it?

"I've not really had malaria for a couple of decades."

Yet you feel qualified to comment negatively on it?

"I've not really had my teeth pulled out without anesthetic for a couple of decades"

Yet you feel qualified to comment negatively on it?

(Of course, if prison, malaria, painful dental extraction or the CoJCoLDS have changed their essential nature as experiences in recent decades, the question might be a reasonable one. But is it claimed that the CoJCoLDS has changed in some major feature of doctrine or practice to the extent that experience a couple of decades ago is no longer relevant?)

Simon,
You know nothing of me or my perspective yet you apparently feel "qualified" to comment on my post.

It seems to have become de rigueur here to engage you in verbal jousting.

I have no interest in wasting my time in such a manner- I have more productive- or , at least, more entertaining ways to spend my time. I don't wish you ill- I just have no further interest in your comments.
