Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: artbrooks Date: 27 Aug 12 - 06:59 PM It's basically a short sleeve-and-leg onesie. I remember the Mormon guys wearing them when I went for my pre-induction physical in Salt Lake. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: Bill D Date: 27 Aug 12 - 07:16 PM No Mormon thongs then, I guess....... ah well.... To be serious, it seems odd to many of us, but it is no stranger than religions which require the head to be covered.... or women to cover everything but hands & eyes. Some religions ban dancing... or pork... or require prayer at certain times facing a certain way. Some believe wafers to be literal bits of Christ. Some sacrifice chickens. A specific type of underwear kinda pales in comparison.... and is not in view to be noticed by all those |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: Bugsy Date: 27 Aug 12 - 08:14 PM I heard that they banned sex, as it led to dancing. Cheers Bugsy |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: gnu Date: 27 Aug 12 - 08:14 PM "Garments are worn both day and night and are required for any previously endowed adult to enter a temple."... Wiki So, ya gotta be well endowed ta wear these things? If so, that's why there ain't any Irish knocking on yer door lookin for donations, I guess. Now, now... I shant be saying the Irish are not well endowed... only that the barrels of their cannons may not have reach as much as they have field of fire. I am and therefore speak... only for myself, of course. Whilst saying that, it occurred to me... being of Irish decent (yes), what is up with Fruit-of-the-Loom? Great underwear until ya try ta get yer dick out fer a pee. Is NObody at FOTL Irish? Good lord! I mean, it takes LESS material to loose the cannons, EH? Piss me off, eh? |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: catspaw49 Date: 27 Aug 12 - 09:09 PM So some Mormon dork sits himself....Has he shit upon his belief and defiled the temple garments? Will he be cursed and driven out to wander alone in life's desert? Or how about if he just lays down some skid marks? Can you get to heaven with a skid marked temple garment? What about piss? Remember the old adage, "No matter how you wiggle, jiggle, jump, or dance, the last few drops go in your pants." Can you zoom to the planet of prayers with yellow stained drawers? I never could understand religions that either wanted hats or didn't want hats or had rules about hats related to gender. A religion that has underwear rules is too ridiculous to even consider........ Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: gnu Date: 27 Aug 12 - 09:21 PM Soooo, Spaw... you ain't up ta join my sect, The Latter Day Saints of the BBQ? You should reconsider. We only allow carbon steel and stainless steel grates and EACH and EVERY parishoner MUST have a BBQ with briquettes... these new-fangled ceramic and whatever the fuck? are not what He intended in his grand design. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: frogprince Date: 28 Aug 12 - 12:03 PM I first heard about Morman underwear sometime in the last year or so. On the one hand, it strikes me as profoundly silly. On the other, it's utterly harmless, and I hope we don't see a lot of serious smears against Romney over Mormon distinctives that are totally irrelevant. There are more than enough real reasons that I don't want to see him elected. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: Bill D Date: 28 Aug 12 - 12:10 PM Do Mormons go swimming? And if so,...ummmm.... ?? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: Ebbie Date: 28 Aug 12 - 01:22 PM "Do Mormons go swimming?" Not on top of torso, at least. (I saw a photo of R. in a pool.) I had wondered too. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 28 Aug 12 - 03:46 PM So ladies wear the thing UNDER their bra? Very uncomfortable! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: GUEST,999 Date: 28 Aug 12 - 04:47 PM Y'all want to have a go at the Mormon Church, be my guest. But the clothing they wear? Are we next gonna go after Hutterites, Mennonites, Hasidic Jews, Christians on their way to Sunday services? |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: Bobert Date: 28 Aug 12 - 08:28 PM Hey, I was just curious... I don't care if Romney cross-dresses in private... Either way, he'd still make a lousy president... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: gnu Date: 28 Aug 12 - 08:39 PM "I don't care if Romney cross-dresses in private..." My guess would be britches and boots. He just strikes me as kinda Nazi... errrr... ahhh... nasty... yeah, that's it... NASTY. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: Bobert Date: 28 Aug 12 - 08:40 PM Ouch, gn-ze!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: GUEST,Mark- Date: 28 Aug 12 - 09:55 PM So what's the big deal? Lots of different faiths and/or ethnicities have distinctive items of dress. Makes you a member of the team. My mileage may vary but for anybody else, hey, feed your head! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: Joe Offer Date: 29 Aug 12 - 03:21 AM As with all sorts of religious customs, it seems to have something to do with mindfulness, doing something to remind oneself of a special dedication to a cause or a special relationship with the divine. Mezuzahs and phylacteries have the same function for Jews, rosaries and crucifixes and scapulars for Catholics, head coverings for Muslim women. Some people do it out of obsession or blind obedience, and some simply to keep themselves mindful. Most Mormons I worked with in the Boy Scouts didn't make a big deal of their temple garments, but many wore them - not while swimming. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: Sawzaw Date: 29 Aug 12 - 10:19 AM We know what Democrats wear. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: Bill D Date: 29 Aug 12 - 12:56 PM One more snide, irrelevant remark, hmmm, Sawz? We know there are Democrats who mix different aspects of their lives in a stupid way... you want the much longer list of Republicans who have done so in recent years? |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: gnu Date: 29 Aug 12 - 02:36 PM Well, I thought it was a joke. Good one, too. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: Alice Date: 30 Aug 12 - 08:01 PM If you watched the video link I posted, you will see that some Mormons feel the Masonic symbols and garment supernaturally protects from harm as in the plane crash example one man described, although the woman died, her body did not burn under the garment. Other religions have such magical thinking among members, too, like wearing a cross or having a small bible in a pocket, or even the plastic Jesus or St. Christopher on the dashboard of the car. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: Joe Offer Date: 30 Aug 12 - 09:06 PM As Alice says, "some Mormons feel the Masonic symbols and garment supernaturally protects from harm" Many of our religious discussions would have a completely different tone, if we would only remember that one word, "some." "Most" people aren't as crazy as we like to think they are. Or, at least they aren't any crazier than we are.... -Joe- |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: Amos Date: 30 Aug 12 - 09:56 PM As far as I am concerned, anyone who thinks the Infinite Spiritual Power of Existence has his attention fixed on what kind of long johns you have on is not fit for leadership among civilized hoomings. Jes' sayin'. A |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: Rapparee Date: 30 Aug 12 - 10:18 PM There was a custom in some Catholic high schools that a blessed string could be for ten cent "offering." This string was tied around the waist, under the clothing, to protect the wearer against lust and doing naughty things. Probably worked -- would YOU like your intended paramour to ask about the dirty, sweaty string you wore around your waist? Many Catholic religious orders were a rope with three knots in it as a belt. They might also carry an unconcealed heavy-duty rosary. BFD. Wear what you want. Ain't nobody gettin' hurt by this. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mormon Underwear??? From: Sawzaw Date: 30 Aug 12 - 10:21 PM Some, maybe all or most Catholics believe the ST Christophers Medal protects them Supernaturally. St. Christopher is the saint of safe travel. People wear St. Christoper medals to bless them with safety. Aside from people wearing a medal, a "visor clip" or other auto accessory with a St. Christoper medal displayed (and sometimes a prayer on it) is used to protect both a vehicle and the people inside during travel. These are often sold in Catholic and christian gift shops and bookstores. These can be blessed by a priest or someone qualified to bless them. And, as far as I know, may be used on a boat, in a car, in a motor home, RV, motorcycle, scooter, any form of travel. |
