Orange Juice ???
Control freaks...
No Apple Juice, Pineapple Juice, Tomato, Grapefruit ???
No Coke, Sprite ???
No Kool Ade ???
No coffee ...guess not...
Ok, what’s the deal with facial hair beyond mustaches? Just the way the story is written makes ldsers sound robotic and cultish.
Kinda funny when Brigham Young himself wore a beard!
And all wearing the same kind of special undies.
They are permitted everything you mentioned except the coffee. Even Coke if they so choose.
The "special undies" are a very meaningful reminder of obligations to one's God and one's spouse. Removal of the "special undies" is one last high barrier on the road to sin, a very serious act that should give pause to anyone thinking of committing adultery.
I'm not Mormon, by the way, but I think making fun of their "special undies" is not much different from making fun of a Jew's yarmulke, or a Sikh's turban, or a Catholic's rosary. It's not funny and does not honor God.
BYU’s fans will probably have graduated from the university as well.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.

“permitted” ???
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Man made religion...cultish behavior..
For Christians there are Bible verses to protect them from such unGodly control..
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ....therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, Colossians 2:8, 16
Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. One man’s faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. Romans 14:1-3
My teenagers would respond to that with "Oooooh! BURN!"

Faith without works is like a dead body without a spirit. Says so in the Bible, so it must be true.

Catholics have scapulars that never come off. I am Catholic.
I agree with you. Making fun of an item of devotion is crass. Let someone make fun of a yarmulke and see how long they last on FR.
I think calling someone’s religious observance “cultish” is in violation of the injunction you yourself quoted, i.e. not to pass judgment or look down on one whose religious practices differ from your own.

The “special magic undies” have nothinbg to do with refrianing from sin...
A mormon guy can just as easily commit adultery with the undies on as he can taking them completely off...
As far as virtue goes...
a girl in and lacy bra and thong panties can be more virginal and virtuous and walking in obedience to God than the mormon girl with her unnecessary and silly long johns...
No the main reason they wear those silly things is because they believe that bullets cant get through and they protect them from physical harm and death...
Joey Smith didnt like to wear them and he wasnt wearing them the day he shot his way out during that jail break...
However he did have his magic talisman...the Jupiter stone with the pagan good luck charm writing on it...Things like power from the gods etc...
But oh dear that didnt work either...
Just think... my Dad never wore them silly magic undies and he lived twice as long as Joey Smith...
But then he didnt do the evil Joey Smith did,
Joey was the one who did the sex sins, the adultery, the death threats against his wife, the murders, thievery, bank scams, and boasting that he was greater than the Jesus of the Bible...
My Dad was the one who just loved Jesus and obeyed God in his life and has Proverb 22:1 on his tombstone, as he lies next to the only woman he was ever married to...
Dad wasnt a jail bird or dabbler in witchcraft like Joey either...
You wouldnt be passing judgement on me would you ???
I was referring to the self-righteous statements about drinking only orange juice...
Some of the beer drinkers know God...
The orange juice drinkers not so much...
but you were going to get righteously indignant against the author for his judging of the Sooner fans werent you...
Of course you were...
CRICKETS
You’re so right! I also have problems with their attitude towards the Book of Mormon. “If any one adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book” (Rev. 22:18) and “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed” (Gal 1:8).
Especially the "Porcelain God."
except the coffee. Even Coke if they so choose.
Coffee - caffeine..no sugar...
Coke - caffeine ...lots of sugar for the addicts in Utah...
