And all wearing the same kind of special undies.

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.

And yet, if your faith is based on a total reliance on Christ and his sacrifice for the forgiveness and deliverence from your sin, there is no need of such crutches; for your religion is not based on your need to work at it, but rather, relying on Jesus to provide you with the ability to live above your sin because he has already done all the work necessary on Calvary.

You, unknowingly, have shown one of the problems Christians have with the Mormon theology and religion, their reliance on a works-based religion, masquerading as some form of Christianity.

And though some would take that as a slam on Mormons, it is not. I have the highest respect and regard for how Mormons choose to live their lives in the general sense and some of my best friends throughout my life have been Mormons, however, that does not mean their theology is acceptable in the eyes of God or the bible.

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.

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...

Yes, thanks, I understand that it’s a religious observance, and I certainly don’t object to any of those you mention. But putting aside for a moment the reflexive objectivity, I think most people would agree that wearing special underwear to ward off sin just a _little_ difficult to take seriously.

I'm sure some of our FORMER LDS members can enlighten you.
