No. A person she knows was making rude comments about the magic underwear and she wanted to know how to answer. Still she wants to understand more.

Schwesterherz Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 She need information on underwear in order to determine who to vote for?Methinks this is not the most propitious sign of responsible voting.There is much false information about the church in other churches. The temple and the Endowment are sacred, we do not talk about it and through this, that; not contributes to develop confidence at all. If this were one of my friends, I would make clear to her that the garment are a symbol for the sacred covenant into which we enter with God in the temple. No more but also not less.

SteveVH Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 As a Catholic why do you think LDS members get this question about our underwear all the time?I don't know. I think a lot of people want to make you appear as wierd as they can and having this "secret thing", in their minds, is just more evidence. In truth, it is out of ignorance, or, sometimes, just plain meanness. I have heard some that believe it is tied to the Masonic rites which makes it even more sinister. Don't worry, as a Catholic I get all kinds of wierd comments as well about various practices. Don't let it bother you. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've started looking at these types of comments and accusations as an opportunity to explain my faith and hopefully evangelize. Unfortunately, what I have found is that folks who like to throw things like this around are usually not real interested in listening to the real answer.God bless you.

Sunnysprite Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 She need information on underwear in order to determine who to vote for?Methinks this is not the most propitious sign of responsible voting.Garments are something that I hear "nons" wonder about. There is that presure from some to see our church as something laughable. It's not of course, but people are people. I got in trouble for picking some that were folded and fell on the floor up and putting them back on the table. I just laughed it off. If fallen underwear is the worst emergency you ever face ...

Seems like you could answer questions about mormonism just as well as any website, and they would have the advantage of being able to ask direct questions instead of just reading prepared statements and dogmas.
