Complete with a tag that certified them as Temple approved.<br />There's nothing wrong with having a symbol for yourself of the covenants you have with God, Catholics have crosses, holy water and rosaries, Baptists have their leather-bound KJV, and evangelicals have their Jesus fish on their cars, among others. What is wrong is trusting in a symbol, rather than trusting in God's grace and the internal work He does in the heart. <br />I hope you weren't among the offended... I'm sure some folks are offended by pictures of ANY underwear online!Niki Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419436634375255412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605816413368612595.post-78423621656040251682010-09-13T02:12:56.364-06:002010-09-13T02:12:56.364-06:00The 'holy underwear' is just plain ole'...The 'holy underwear' is just plain ole' cotton. They're not 'magic' and they don't 'do' anything special.<br /><br />The holiness comes from the covenants that are made with God when you receive them, and the symbolism therein. <br /><br />It is akin to the robes of a catholic priest, or the white collar of a preacher, or the head scarf of a Muslim woman. Its supposed to be a daily reminder of the promises you made to God.<br /><br />Not all Mormons wear them either, only ones who go through the temple and choose to make those covenants. <br /><br />I'm also pretty sure they are not sold in Wal-mart. You can only buy them through a church distribution center and with a temple recommend.<br /><br />Many people consider displaying pictures of them online to be disrespectful to others' faith. <br /><br />Although the holey/holy play on words was amusing and clever. :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605816413368612595.post-39963952715772563182010-06-26T08:08:11.774-06:002010-06-26T08:08:11.774-06:00Thanks, Niki!

Ha,yes, &...Thanks, Niki! Glad you came by to visit.<br />Ha,yes, "appropriate" is definitely the right word. Kind of like a guy in the garage changing the oil, and whipping a pair a ladies' panties from his coveralls to wipe off the grease. It just seems wrong!<br />Have a great weekend!Niki Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419436634375255412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605816413368612595.post-84299061045200045792010-06-25T23:56:14.924-06:002010-06-25T23:56:14.924-06:00This is a scream.

I tried dusting with a pair of hubby's expired briefs one day and it just didn't feel "appropriate," should I say? I wondered, too, what the furniture was thinking! But I love your holy spin, and I found the underwear trivia intriguing, funny, and downright interesting.
