    Sounds like she's old school Mo'. My grandparents burned their old ones. Not sure if the marks were cut out before the burning though.

        Not true. Wally is a Ute. There are many people on this board that aren't worried about his soul.

          The TP told me to burn them when I was endowed. I obliged for a year or two post mission, but what a pain.

            I tried the burning thing but it didn't work very well. Now I cut out the marks and the rest gets turned into rags or trashed.

              To the contrary, that is precisely why I AM worried about his soul.

                I just never get rid of them. If I had to, I could probably go a couple months without repeating.

                  No one wants to go retro garment. Not even my 93 year old grandpa.

                      What if for every retro garment day, they had a Brazilian garment day?! We just need to get God to promote a AAA baseball ticket marketer to be an Apostle and we could have some real fun on Sundays.

                        Nope. I can't think of any situation where going wrist to ankles is something I'd be cool with. Clearly, I am part of the chosen generation and was held to the last days for a reason.

                          Indeed. First he wants back in the MWC and NOW he says "just iron garment symbols on your favorite t-shirt?" Next he's going to be clamoring for Mitt to run!

                          This is unfair. Wally is a cougar when it comes to women's volleyball.

                              I've never wanted back in the MWC. I don't mind independence and it's surely better than the current MWC.

                              I'm definitely off the rails though, but in also more active than a good portion of the ward.

                                I know the handbook says that garments should not be made, but that's just a lame policy and I doubt any leader would ever care or even know unless the member told them.

                                I agree they would only know if the member told them.
