I agree. I was thinking about this recently. What has anyone done, to be congratulated for, when they just received a new calling. By all means thank them personally for the calling they were just released from, and for the good work they did in that calling. But other than be worthy and willing receiving a calling is just a start.

We are told quite clearly, at the point in the ordinances where we are (symbolically) clothed in the Garment that it (the Garment) is to be worn throughout our lives. What possible reason we would then have for taking it off, other than for pro-functionary things like washing ourselves and the Garment. When we marry many put on a wedding ring. Generally we only take it off to wash, my wife's never comes off. Generally anyone taking of their wedding ring is doing for a nefarious purpose, or is at least seen to be doing for such a reason. As read at TR interviews, "wearing the Garment is an outward expression of an inner commitment to follow the Saviour, Jesus Christ" (from memory).

Ensure that they fully understand the Doctrine of Christ and have used the Atonement in a way that they understand its power. Nothing replaces experience in bringing about a testimony.
