  • A modesty question.

    Given that God and Jesus, on their big appearance before Joseph, showed up in OPEN flowing robes, and hovered above the kneeling Joseph at what must have been an 'awkward' height, how important can modesty really be?

    Along those same lines, two weeks ago in a lesson to the Teachers Quorum about the godhead, the quorum advisor teaching the lesson went over the difference between a mortal body (flesh and blood) and a resurrected and perfected body (flesh and bone), making specific emphasis on the fact that resurrected beings don't have blood.

    One of the wittier, more irreverent members of the quorum asked if that meant you can't get an erection when you're resurrected. It had me laughing pretty good. The adviser, while stifling his laughter, said he would rather the young man take his concern up with his parents.

    There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

      Hello, body of flesh and bone. Next question.
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          Maybe 'modesty' is like 'beards,' where what is ok for God is a sign that one might be a pinko-luv'n-hippie for mortals.

            This is nothing to worry about. DownEast Basics has stuff for under the robes.

              Personally, I plan to frolic naked on my own private planet. What's the point of being Gods and Goddesses if we have to wear clothes?

                They girded up their loins beforehand.

                This reminds me of a funny story. When I was in Primary I believed the lyrics to the primary song, "Lift Up Your Voice And Sing" were in fact "Gird Up Your Loins and Sing".

                I sang it that way for years, and now realize how embarassingly funny it must have been to the poor primary teachers and presidency (including my mother).

                "Mommy, what does 'gird up your loins' mean?
