Do TBM's worship garments?

Post by **_Scottie** » Sun Aug 26, 2007 2:01 am

When I was a TBM, anything to do with the temple was to be treated with the utmost secrecy and "respect". I NEVER talked about what happened in there. Divulging my new name was about the most horrific thing I could do. And, of course, throwing your garments on the floor or treating them with anything but the greatest amount of respect is severely frowned upon by God. Why, even wearing garments with holes is considered disrespectful.

Do you believe this has crossed the line from respect to a level of worship?

Do you really think that at the judgement day, God will say to you, "Well, everything looks pretty good. You lived a good life, you served others, you.......hmmmmmm.....what's this?? Not only did you wear holey garments......ha ha ha...get it, holey...holy....brummppp....Not only did you wear holey garments, but you threw them on the FLOOR??? I'm sorry, but entry to the CK is denied."

Thoughts?

Thanks for the laugh.

But no, I know of no LDS person whose respect of their garments is remotely close to worship.

Garments are treated like the American flag. Though I don't care for the phrase "I pledge allegiance to the flag," at no point do we worship the flag. They are just sacred, which means they are treated with respect.

OMG! I totally forgot about that.

Remember how we were told that the speshul undies were not to touch the ground or be stepped on?

I always told my wife that they were not on the ground but on the carpet :)

God was I glad to rid my life of the masonic jammies.

I just wear them. When I'm done they go in the hamper. They get sorted with the whites. After being washed they are folded and put in the drawer.

Did you ever wonder about the masonic symbols over the nipples?

Nehor,

I could count on less than one hand how many garment threads I've participted in, so I'll ask you a question and you don't have to answer it if you don't feel like it.

Why wear them at all?

God: One piece when you are bad!
