They get to wear the magical underpants. >>

I heard about that, something that they have to wear a certain type of underwear. I wonder how this custom came about.

It's from a corruption of Masonic practices. The founder of the Mormons, Mr. Smith, was a Mason. He corrupted and/or simply "borrowed" many Masonic practices and inocoporated them into the initiation practices of the LDS church.

All in all, a rather juvenile way to found a religion.

I think Joseph Smith developed many of his practices from Freemasonry. I do not remember exactly the root of the sacred undies in Mormonism but think there is a Masonic connection. Anyone know?
