"I wonder what that is going to do to fundamentalists who are not members of this church but buy their garments from the church." "They'll probably just start making their own using ours as a blueprint."I can answer this (as a former fundamentalist myself).They don't wear the "official" LDS Church garment. They still wear the "old fashioned" style that went down to your wrists and ankles. Oh, and one of the "marks" was reversed. Oh, and they are ONE piece, and they use Tape-Tie strings in the middle instead of buttons. SOO, no they don't use "yours" as a "blueprint". They consider the LDS Church garment as "apostate". So...they make their own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.P.S. Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 I was just at the distrabution center yesterday and found out that the rule doesn't take effect until August 1st, which might explain why there hasn't been too much buzz yet.

I have felt it necessary for years.I wonder what that is going to do to fundamentalists who are not members of this church but buy their garments from the church. Gee....I guess they we have to make their own! BoooHoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Since non-members can't buy them anymore, I guess the prices for them will be going UP on ebay----buy now and save! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Originally posted by Unorthodox@Jun 10 2004, 11:30 AM So if I didn't keep my Temple Recommend current, and my garments were worn out, I would have to go back to wearing tighty whities? I guess that's fine with me.Do you think this might hurt garment sales? Maybe you will have to find a mother in law like mine, she buys me garments for my birthday---can't have her daugher seen with a guy with "hole..y" garments.

Nicodemus Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Two questions (decided to pop in for a spell- the search has been looking up lately, thanks for the encouragement). Does anyone have the number "666" or can one theoretically receive some odd number like that? I've really wondered this a lot- like, if I became a member and started wearing the garments- how and when would I wash them? Are there multiple pairs or something or how does that work? I mean no disrespect but ask these with all sincerity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally feel really dirty if I don't put it through the wash cycle before I put it on. I also have other questions regarding the garments, but I trust those will be answered as well.

Guest Starsky Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Tao asked:Do you think this might hurt garment sales? I think it will. There are a lot of inactives who still keep their garments on...they just can't get to church to get a TR or they don't think they can afford tithing...or some such thing...My little friend who is near 70 years old doesn't have one because she just can't stand some of the ignorant people at church....And not everyone who goes to church has a TR either.

Let me put it this way Nick...can I call you Nick?...Nick,The garments are meant to be a symbol of purity (among other things). How well would they serve that purpose if you couldn't wash them?

Nicodemus Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 I'm glad that you can wash them. That takes a load off. Not trying to sound dumb or anything, but if you can't ever take them off, it sounds like a person must shower with them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickodemus there are certain times when it's appropriate to NOT wear the garments..showering and "marital" reasons are two of them...And you may buy as many pairs as you want. I personally have to order a whole new "wardrobe" now due to my ever expanding belly...:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Ok, thank you very much! Those were my two questions. I was too afraid to ask about how that would fit into the "marital" scheme and it had been bothering me. Thanks for mind-reading there. And I now know that you can buy multiple pairs. Good- my mind is at rest now. Thank you for your help. Sorry if that was too personal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lt Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Originally posted by Ruthie-chan@Jun 10 2004, 01:00 AM About freakin' time.Heck, I think they need to take it a step further and require ID as well as a Temple Recommend, though that may not work so well in third world countries.It ticks me off how rude these people are.No one would ever be this disrespectful to Jew or Muslim sacred possessions. Psst, Snow, they did stop using real wine in sacrament. yes...I agree exactly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good- my mind is at rest now. Thank you for your help. Sorry if that was too personal. About the marital thing....As missionaries we were invited up to the solom assembly room in the temple and allowed to ask President Romney any questions we wanted...One elder decided to ask this question about garments and marital relations....and was told that garments were meant as a spiritual protection....and it just depended upon how much protection you wanted or felt that you needed at any given time.

Do you ever go without underwear?Only, you treat this underwear very carefully because of the symbolism involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
