That's probably the most offensive question I've ever read. It made me laugh. I wish i was a Mormon so I could answer.

You would think that with all the other stuff that they are told to do that they would be asked to do this. I think the question is a good one and demands an answer.

Why not check this out:

If you work on it, you might get to a place not too far below the Mormons before it is too late.

Study some etiquette and diplomacy along the way.

I wouldn't trust that website if I were you. Where did it come from? What were its sources? How do we know this is real, and not some anti-Mormon propaganda?

They are called undergarments and they wear them after they have been temple ordained. You can not enter certain parts of the temples if you don't have that ordinance.

Cult no. I don't belong to a cult. But yes in my religion I do wear sacred underwear, and the fact that it is sacred I will say nothing more about it.

I wont answer yes or no oh the joys of being an American and having freedom of speech although I will address your question # if you were to call us a Cult all religions are a CULT and I haven't been asked to wear sacred underwear but I am not worthy at the moment either here's the "one minute" answer
The idea of having special clothing that is to be considered sacred and dedicated is not foreign to the Bible, for both the Old and New Testaments contain references to garments of special significance. The Old Testament specifies, "Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment" (Eccl. 9:8). The New Testament declares, "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcher, and keeper his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame" (Rev. 16:15).
The garment worn by Latter-day Saints that is given them in the temple is a symbol of covenants, purity and faithfulness to Jesus Christ. It is a reminder that, as Adam and Eve were clothed by the Lord ["unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them" (Gen. 3:21)] so we too are clothed as a reminder of our promises to the Lord. It should not be surprising that clothing which represents promises to the Lord should be regarded as holy, especially to those who understand the role of the temple in ancient Israel.

The Lord commanded Moses to instruct Aaron and others in the making and wearing of clothing that was to be regarded as holy. Speaking of Aaron the Lord told Moses, "Bring his sons and put shirts on them; put sashes around their waists and tie caps on their heads" (Exodus 29:8-9, Good News Bible). These garments were designated by God and considered sacred (Exodus 28, 39:41).

Elder Boyd K. Packer, a member of the Council of the Twelve Apostles, had some interesting comments about the undergarment received in the Temple. In one address to the non-member faculty and staff of the Navy Chaplain's Training School, he reminded them that as chaplains, they too wear articles of clothing that set them apart from everyone else. He added that their religious clothing meant a great deal to them and that likewise we draw something of the same benefits from our special clothing "as you would draw from your clerical vestments. The difference is that we wear ours under our clothing instead of outside. For we are employed in various occupations in addition to our service in the Church" (The Holy Temple, p. 76).

The wearing of the garment, although seen by some non-members as a peculiar practice, is for the devoted Latter-day Saints an activity which symbolizes a life devoted to Christ-centered activity. "He that overcome, the same shall be clothed in white raiment" (Revelation 3:4-5). Certainly it is a practice for which there are several significant Biblical precedents.

Wasn't there someone once who said, "All things are holy to him that is holy, but to him that is unholy is not anything holy."


That is pretty neat, to have Jesus say something directly about you, huh? Your questions are a direct fulfillment of that prophecy.

Yes and no.

Clarification - some of us DO wear it, but not all Mormons do, and we are not asked to do it. It is a choice we make.
