Polygamy is too easy to pervert. In fact, sex is often twisted into something of debauchery in its entirety. Polygamy performs a function sociologically and economically. It is a hedge against Socialism. The Relief Society itself is established for that very purpose. The Priesthood is established for that purpose.
THE INDIVIDUAL MUST BE PRESERVED. THE FAMILY IS THE ORIGINATOR, VEHICLE, AND DESTINATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL.
The Family must possess independence if they are to produce an Individual.
Sister Dalton said that few people are teaching values in society today. "Who is teaching values in our society today? Where will a young woman go to understand the values of faith, divine nature, individual worth, integrity, knowledge, choice and accountability? We believe this is probably one of the very few places that they are being taught values. And it is very important for strengthening homes and families and our entire society."
Sister Dalton said when a young woman begins to do Personal Progress she changes.
"The Spirit comes into her life," she said.
Sister Cook explained that the program is centered around the new eight Young Women values, which will help them define their identity and roles as a daughter of God. "Each exercise, experience or project is focused on her becoming more familiar and aware of what those values are and how they relate to her in her life."
Sister Dibb said an important part of the Personal Progress program is that it invites young women to go to the scriptures and study value-related topics such as faith and integrity.
Many young women who have completed Personal Progress have said, "'I don't know if I would have done that on my own.' We hope that their testimony grows in that respect and that they feel the Spirit."
