  • Based on anecdotal evidence and myriad pictures on Facebook, I'm seeing a huge upswing in people following the Joseph Smith pattern of wearing garments - when it suits them, but certainly not in the hot summer.
    Awesomeness now has a name. Let me introduce myself.

      Good, because if it was too crowded, it wouldn't be call the Celestial Kingdom.
      Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

      For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        Crowded? I think you're going to have a lot of real estate with few takers, at this rate.

          Sign me up for the kingdom with bikinis and umbrella drinks.

            In the CK we will all be naked and not ashamed. You can have your bikinis.

              So the cost of eternal nakedness is a mortal existence of ill-fitting underwear? I'll take the bikinis. I hear it's hot where I'm headed anyway.

                Or maybe the test is to wear these babies in mortality...and hell is having to wear them forever if you don't.





                OK - I don't really believe that. Personally, I'm not way invested one way or the other. I can wear what I've got, but won't complain if they make improvements and/or something better comes along.

                  Actually, they will have bikinis in hell but you won't be able to take them off, which obviously explains the doctrine that says that those in the CK will have multitudes of spirit children.

                    Is that doctrine? I don't know that we teach that.
                    We all trust our own unorthodoxies.

                      Wasn't that kind of the plot in The Devil and Miss Jones? You and I must have similar cinematic tastes.

                          We'll have fruity drinks and pool floaties at least. And a bikini I can't take off apparently.

                            I like this response.

                              I'm good with that. Sounds like an upgrade from this life. We get drinks with a kick in them and I'm rarely surrounded by women in bikinis, which I can't take off anyway, so this way we are around a lot of women that were a little wild during their life in bikinis with a perfected body.

                              • So Mormon Expositor has a new podcast on mormons in the military. They talk about the issue of garements in armed services and one guy says that he used to send in his troop shirts to have the garment simbols silk screen onto the inside of the shirts. He said that some of these shirts had dragons on the back with the words like "Kill" and other military slogans.

                                I realize that these are exceptions to the rule, but it makes you wonder what are the essential parts of a garment? If it is just the symbols then why not allow people to have a broader array of underwear choices?
