The Latter-day Saint garment is a symbol of the covenants we make in the Temple. It also symbolizes the garments that God gave Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to cover their nakedness after they partook of the fruit and realized that they were naked. In a way, they're similar to the prayer shawls that Orthodox Jews wear; they symbolize our covenants with God.

Wearing garments is quite beautiful. It's nice to have a constant reminder of the covenants you've made (such as living the commandments, chastity, sacrifice, the Word of Wisdom, etc.) and how beautiful the Temple is. I love the Temple because its symbolism points towards Christ and the Atonement. The symbolism in the Temple also points towards the equality of female and male, emphasizing their uniqueness and purposes. Whoever thinks the LDS religion is chauvinist has not been through the Temple or does not understand the symbols for male and female.

The garments are only available for purchase from Church distribution centers. To purchase garments, as well as the rest of our Temple clothes (we wear white in the Temple), you have to show a current Temple recommend and a driver's license. It used to be that you didn't have to show that much ID to purchase them; it was all on the honor system. But so many people who weren't LDS or temple worthy were purchasing them and showing them to the rest of the world, so now it's slightly more difficult to purchase them. Sacred things should be kept sacred.

You start wearing garments when you go through the Temple and do your endowment (the covenants we make). It does take some getting used to in the beginning, since they raise your body temperature a little, but they are fabulous once you get used to them.

The Mormon Curtain - MORMON GARMENTS


When Mormons go through the Endowment ceremony in the Mormon temples, they are given a set of "underwear" known as "garments". These garments must be worn by Mormons for life and no other underwear can be worn. Mormon women must wear their bras over their garments and some Mormons even believe that one must wear the garments during sexual intercourse so the child will be born "under the covenant".

Mormons believe that the holy garment will protect them from fire, bullets, knives and other assaults if the person wearing the garments have kept all of their "temple covenants". During the washing and anointing ceremony the Mormon is told the garment "represents the garment given to Adam when he was found naked in the garden of Eden." The person is told that the garment "will be a shield and a protection to you against the power of the destroyer until you have finished your work here on earth." In general, Mormons view the garment as a symbolic and spiritual shield against the powers of Satan. Some LDS believe that the garment provides them with "supernatural powers" of physical protection. Bill Marriott, prominent Mormon and owner of Marriott Hotels International stated in an interview with Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes that he believed his garments protected him from being burned during a boating accident.

My underwear is magic, but it's not from religion.

Probably the worst thing was when the garments would get soaked with sweat, which was pretty much all the time during the summer months. The cotton breathed, but would get heavy with moisture and begin to sag badly. A lot of people went with nylon, which was light, but didn't stretch or give a bit. When wearing nylon, you were also a walking fire hazard. Other weird things happened with nylon garments. Once one of our missionaries was hit by a car while riding his bike. He slid along the cobblestones, and the nylon garment melted into the fabric of his suit. We called the nylon garments "Comanche garments," meaning they would "sneak up and wipe you out at the pass." (We didn't care that this was an affront to our Native American and Aboriginal Canadian peoples, because we were taught that they were "dark and loathsome" anyway.)

There were only a couple of benefits to wearing one piece garments. Unfortunately, I don't know what they were. But I do know that if you were particularly lazy during your Saturday morning roll, you didn't even have to take them off to do that thing that Mormons call "that great pro-creative power." (You know--sweaty snugglebunnies.) You could just snuggle and perform the act whether or not you took them off--didn't want to, didn't need to. This made some Mormons of the more National Socialist persuasion believe that it was indeed wrong remove the garment in order to have sex. (There. I said it.) I went round and round with a guy in elders' quorum once about that.

I was told in the temple and other times, that you couldn't just throw the marks away. If you couldn't burn them, you had to shred them into tiny pieces so that no one could possibly know what they were. I practically took mine down to the individual threads, I was so worried about not doing it right.

Tell me it's not a cult when an organization has gotten so far into your head that they have you systematically pulverizing your underwear in a very precise fashion while worrying you might not be doing it exactly right according to the way God wanted it done.

ok tell me that's not just plain fucking crazy?

A husband and wife leave Mormonism - their stories


While in the office, we received the letter instructing Bishops, SP's and Mission/District Presidents to question married couples about impure sexual practices (read oral sex, anal sex, etc.). People have since told me that the existence of this letter has never been proven - that it is a Mormon legend. However, I held the letter in my own two hands and examined the fine manner of workmanship - oops -digressing. Anyway folks, the letter existed. Within about two weeks, another letter came out telling us to disregard the previous letter as so many were offended (me included).

When I was sitting in the SP's office (a new SP), listening to and responding to the questions, I heard one question and just stared at him. The question was "do you and your wife participate in any impure sexual practices?". I asked him if this was a new question. He said it was his question. I told him I had been through this before and that I didn't need to answer the question. He persisted. Without any warning he told me that if I didn't answer, I wouldn't be receiving a temple recommend. I then told him that I wouldn't be receiving a temple recommend then. He said my failure to answer was enough of an answer to him and that he would like to discuss these impure practices with me. I asked him to define impure practices and he replied that anything outside of sexual intercourse was impure. I laughed right in his face. He told me that members needed to live up to high standards, blah blah, blah.

What about making them panties magically dissaper?

To me the Mormon religion is no different than Scientology. They are both cults.

well you have to cut the masonic symbol out first and shred or burn the symbols before disposing of undergarments or sata... i mean god will be really pissed evidently.
