So when I was mormon and got my endowment, I was given temple garments (special underwear) that I was instructed to wear day and night. I was also told never to show them to anyone (especially non-members).

At the time, I was a convert to the church living at home with my non-mormon family. Once a week, I used to smuggle them down to the laundry room to wash them without anyone seeing them.

I was eventually told by a priesthood leader that this was unnecessary, but still...

@Shae Erisson Sorry, I meant that keeping them hidden from my family was optional. I just wasn't to put them on display.

@Mx. Luna Corbden Bishop Roulette strikes again!

But yeah. The temple worker who gave me my garments laid down the law.



culty (Mormon) stuff

A while ago my old temple clothing turned up. Just had an interesting conversation with Katy that made me realize something I hadn't before.

There's a specific bag that the church sells to put your temple clothing in. As far as I know, there's no rule saying you have to use it, but a lot of mormons do. I never really thought about it, but it's totally a dog whistle/status symbol. To an outsider, it's just a pretty ordinary (cheap looking) bag. To a mormon who's had their endowment, it screams "I'm worthy to go to the temple."
