What's with the magical Mormon underwear? It was mentioned in another post.

Well, I try not to get into this too often. (I mean, who really wants to talk about their underwear?)

But, here, you all can go direct to the source -- the official magazine of the Mormon church -- Ensign Magazine. They saw fit to include mention in this The Doctrine of Temple Work (Mormonism - Open) in October 2003.

I posted that article excerpt last October because of its occultic associations...[October being a month linked with the Occult due to its Halloween association].

Per the Mormon author, Elder David E. Sorensen: ...One of the great privileges we have is the wearing of the garment...The garment, … when properly worn, will serve as a protection against temptation and evil. “It is expected that members will wear the garment both night and day...Members should not adjust the garment or wear it contrary to instructions in order to accommodate different styles of clothing...The garment should not be removed for activities which might reasonably be done with the garment worn beneath the clothing...

See even how legalistically -- micro-manage-like -- Mormon leaders are about their members' underwear? I mean they micro-manage their members underwear down to...
...having them wear it 24/7...
...they can't adjust the underwear "contrary to instructions" -- even for wardrobe alignment reasons...
...and it can't be removed "for activities which might reasonably be done with the garment worn beneath the clothing..."

And all this because they believe this underwear is a "protection" vs. "evil???" Hmmm....

And who says Mormonism isn't a cult?

(Ripliancum...Saundra Duffy...care to share how this underwear has helped you avoid "temptation" and "evil?" Any testimonies there? Any ever given @ testimony meetin's?)

The garment,... when properly worn, will serve as a protection against temptation and evil.

Sounds like an earthly version of the Armor of God in Ephesians 6:10 - 18.

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

I don't recall that either of these folks ever claiming to actually BE Temple worthy.

So very few MORMONs actually are.
