If I have to choose between your characterization of the Teachings of the Prophets manuals as "Primary level" and Elder Oaks' as "rich and relevant ... [and] superb," I'm going with Oaks, sorry.

More importantly, I seem to remember this little talk by Maxwell (extolled by you of all people) that the gospel was about doing and becoming and not as much about knowing. He also said we have too many homes where the man is the scholar and the woman is the Christian.

Draw from that whatever conclusions you wish, but until we have Elders Quorums full of pornography-free, spouse loyal, patient, even-tempered, temple recommend holding, 100%-home-teaching brethren, I don't think linking in a few FARMS articles is going to bring the group closer to God.

Just my opinion.
