He's a magic man mama!!!!




Temple garment
In some denominations of the Latter Day Saint movement, the temple garment (or the Garment of the Holy Priesthood, or informally, the garment or garments, or by those outside of the faith, either Mormon underwear or pejoratively, magic underwear) is a set of sacred underclothing worn by adult adherents who have taken part in a ritual ceremony known as washing and anointing ordinance, usually in a temple as part of the Endowment ceremony. In modern times, the temple garment is worn primarily by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) along with several small religious groups who separated from the LDS Church. Adherents consider them to be sacred and may be offended by public discussion of the garments. Anti-Mormon activists have publicly displayed or defaced temple garments to show their opposition to the LDS Church. <1>

1. I thought they had little symbols on them, or symbolic rips?
Seriously.

4. I am given to understand they are small embroidered marks.
You're supposed to cut them off and burn them if you recycle the undies to use as dustrags.

7. They sow symbols on cloths in them.
There are pieces of folded cloth with secret symbols and writings sewn right where the boobs and crotch are.

10. No
There are not. There are small embroidered (sewn) marks above the knees and chest, not 'boobs' and 'crotch'.

5. Those actually aren't too bad. A woman I worked with years ago was Morman
and I accidentally hit her in the solar plexus. It went THUD. She had some heavy duty trussing going on and it couldn't have been too comfortable. I hope they've made them more wearer-friendly since then.

6. All religions have practices that seem ridiculous to an outsider.
I can speak from experience since I was raised in a Catholic family.
There are a million reasons to NOT vote for Romney. His religion isn't one of them.

9. "His religion isn't one of them."
See if they have "Under The Banner Of Heaven" at your local library.
