1. What is the purpose of this and why is it magical?

Is it about modesty?

[roguevalley]

3. probably but it also carries symbols on it if I remember correctly from the zillion

mormons I grew up with. They appear to be masonic type symbols.

4. the clothing ands the markings on them are supposed to protect them

2. Let's not go there.

It's a covenant and though I wouldn't do it it's important to people of the Mormon religion. I'm wary of any religion playing in politics and I think the tenets of Mormonism are false and strange as hell but I don't think it's decent to ridicule such a personal thing. We've got way, way better ammo than that.

6. That is actually

the garb that is worn on their Home World,Kolob.
In order to go home,they have to wear the sacred jammies.
Wow,who would have thought that Mitt was packing so much French bread?
No wonder Ann and Uncle Turd Blossom have that same silly grin.
Aye Carrrrumba!

7. Magic undies rule suspended when they go to the beach?

I mean, you don't see them wearing this garb under their bathing suit.

So is this only a requirement sometimes, and not other times? If this is a modesty issue surely they'd be required to wear appropriate covering swim wear?

Convenience? Or religious principle? Or do they wear them only when they might have to expose their magic garments to the faithful (in temple?)

8. "just like wearing a hug"

so says a Mormon woman on the internets. Apparently Mormons don't talk openly about the true purpose of "gammies".

To each his own I guess, since everyone in this country is entitled to worship as they please. It doesn't much matter to me what religion Rmoney ascribes to; what's important is that he's a rotten human being.

14. I used to wear silk long johns.

I can vouch for the fact they were just like wearing a hug.

Mine weren't religious though. I had a job where I was in and out in cold Chicago weather while wearing suits. Regular LJs were too bulky.

9. I think they have to wear it in temple.

[demgrrrll]

12. I really dislike this thread. Really. To the Trash BIN!!

13. This kind of stuff should be off limits on DU, IMO

Leave this kind of snark for less serious websites.

I don't see this thread as being any different than making fun of a Jewish yarmulke, a Sikh's turban, or a Muslim's hijab.

This is stooping pretty low, and I would like to think we aren't that nasty.
