10. When adherents are married or 'sealed' in the Temple, they are assigned special undergarments

or "Temple garments" . It's like an old-fashioned union suit with flap openings for bodily functions. It must be worn at all times, and there is even a special protocol for putting it on after bathing, and when a bedraggled garment is no longer to be worn, it must be burned. Many believe they are protected from car accidents, fires, etc. while wearing them...there are even 'stories' of bullets being deflected. Although warned by the (ahem) Prophet that its style was " sacred and unalterable ", the always-fluid Church declared that a less horrible version would be worn in the '20s or '30s ...lol. I often look at my very stylish mother -in-law, knowing she's compelled to sport hers in the Arizona heat, and wonder how she does it.

Part of the reason for that is their language school jberryhill Feb 2012 #30

mormonism has been in competition for a while with the baptists newspeak Feb 2012 #33

The Southern Baptists once held their convention in Salt Lake KamaAina Mar 2012 #36

Which would make Mormonism competition to to the Born Again "Christians". Dawson Leery Jan 2012 #23
