20. Clearing up a couple things

Sat May 12, 2012, 11:36 PM

May 2012

Garments are worn by the mainstream LDS church as well as the polygamist break offs (the styles are different - the polygamist have ones that cover ankle to wrist). The mainstream church makes them in several different fabrics - all the same cut depending on sex. They even have green ones for members in te military (otherwise they are wire made with cotton, mesh, nylon or one piece cotton - like underroos

One is not excommunicated for divorce but one may be on probation for a period if there was "sin" involved. Men can get sealed again with only a civil divorce without a Temple divorce, women need both a temple divorce and a civil divorce.

Garments have no symbolism in marriage and are taken off for sports, bathing and sex. (In the old days people left them on all the time - but that was a long long time ago - my great grandparents left theirs on but no one after that).
