    • Why can't we just get the symbols tattooed and be fine with it all?

      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          Too painful. Too permanent. I say bag the garments, we can just wear our CTR rings and call it good.
          What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

            His wasn't the variant or new variant, it was sporadic. Eat all the meat you want, save the kuru causing kind.

            • I just wanted to weigh in and say that I don't mind wearing garments. Religious issues aside, I prefer wearing some sort of undershirt. Also, men's undergarments have moved closer towards garments than away. The boxer brief looks very much like a garment bottom. I'm pro garments.

                Sure, I think a lot of guys feel that way about wearing garments themselves.

                It's the garment for females that is terrible, especially when you consider how the garment interacts with the bra and the multiple bunching layers -- I don't blame women for getting annoyed with that.

                • Well, I have heard and read more than a few guys talk of garments creeping up all over their legs. This doesn't happen to me. I wonder if it has to do with the material.

                    Probably has more to do with your bird legs. I don't have this problem, either.

                      I've mentioned this before, but I think it bears repeating -- women do NOT need to wear their bra OVER the garment. It is not necessary to wear the garment against the skin to count. That is a tradition that some people follow just as some people don't remove the garment for sports activities.

                        Most of the time, especially at work, I agree with you. The exception is during summer leisure times, when I want to wear shorts and don't particularly like multiple layers of shirts. Even though I get the "short" garment bottoms, this can be troublesom.

                          It should probably surprise no one that, in a church that is lead by men, garments work pretty well with the business uniform. For one, wearing a form-fitting undershirt with a collared shirt just seems to look better, and it protects the collared shirt. And two, briefs can make noticeable lines under slacks, and boxers can look kind of bunchy, since there is a lot of extra material. The garment, in contrast, is tighter than boxers, and its hems drop down low enough so that they are usually only visible when you are sitting.

                          I'd be willing to bet that once women get the priesthood, and start accepting callings in priesthood leadership positions, there will be some major changes to women's garments.

                            Great, so we only need to wait another 100 years.

                              Exactly. Comparing that outfit to the current garment is no different than comparing the current garment to the original garments worn by JS. I think you could include all necessary markings and not detract from their symbolism at all compared to the current variety. In addition, the smallness and lightness of the "new garments" would make them more wearable for females and result in greater orthodoxy. Basically, we've gone from long sleeve to cap sleeve, why would tanktops be verboten? We've gone from ankle length to thigh length. Why would (what would you call that anyway) butt length be a tragedy?

                                I'm sure that that top would also be more comfortable for women suffering relief society arm (a condition where there is excess flab hanging from a woman's upper arms as if she had been cooked in the microwave for a bit and all of the tissue came detached from the bone and now just hangs there).
