Magic undies? Is there some sort of supernatural purpose to the undies? :confused:

Hey, I'd rather be obligated to wear a hijab than a cap and dress and the obligation of being circumcised from birth. Muslim women get the better deal tbh :2wave:


You certainly have an exotic First Name. Tell us more.

last time I checked....mormons were not obligated to be circumcised.

You said Muslim women are discriminated against when we get the better end of the deal compared to the men. :roll:

You still haven't answered my question.

what question? about the undies being magic??? I think that is just non-mormons making fun of them. I'm not mormon, so I don't know for sure, but I don't think they actually ascribe any magical or supernatural power to the undies.
 
actually it's not and Catz knows it's worn less than most readily admit. Just like there's more Coffee drinking going on than heavily admitted to.
Like I said, it is worse than a turban because it is hidden. Why do Mormons want to hide their religious garments? Why the secrecy? If you hide your religious garments, what more are you lying about? Perhaps your secret admiration of the FLDS, which the home office in SLC has not adequately denounced?

:lol:
Haha, I highly doubt it.
I'd rather be a Muslim than a Mormon a million times over.

I hope not otherwise that is just bloody weird and that wasn't the question I meant but ty for answering anyway.

Nah I doubt it, just common sense :shrug:

common sense? explain please. what makes being a muslim woman in Iraq better than being a mormon woman in Utah?


at least all the mormons have reliable electricity and clean drinking water.

Both the State of Israel and the Mainstream LDS Church have ONE Big thing in Common . A Whole hot of First Class Low life Enemies. Anybody noticed (???)

She has a certain lineage she prefers not to go into .

um...because they are UNDERwear??? would be kinda silly to wear them over their clothes. :shrug:

Iraq is ****ed up because of the invasion, not a religions fault

You didn't expand on the magic underwear .... what gives?

sorry to burst your bubble...but Iraq was ****ed up long before the invasion. nice try...but no cigar. I was there during desert storm and Iraq was a crap hole then.

Iraq is ****ed up because of centuries of mismanagement by a string of dictators and the war with Iran.

Name calling. Very nice. :sarcasticclap

Just pointing out the fact that religious tolerance is a two-way street. It wasn't so long ago when the LDS wasn't too popular here ...

There is, however, another piece of armor worthy of our consideration. It is the special underclothing known as the temple garment, or garment of the holy priesthood, worn by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who have received their temple endowment. This garment, worn day and night, serves three important purposes: it is a reminder of the sacred covenants made with the Lord in His holy house, a protective covering for the body, and a symbol of the modesty of dress and living that should characterize the lives of all the humble followers of Christ.

..Hence, the issue of protective coverings enabling us to withstand the fiery darts of Satan will continue to be of great significance.

We must put on the armor of God spoken of by the Apostle Paul and reiterated in a modern revelation (see D&C 27:15–18). We must also “put on the armor of righteousness” (2 Ne. 1:23) symbolized by the temple garment. Otherwise, we may lose the war and perish.

From an article in the LDS Church's Ensign Magazine...LDS.org - Ensign Article - The Temple Garment:
 
Actually Iraq was pretty wealthy under Saddam not to mention very few sectarian violence to the scale that happened a few years ago, it also had a booming middle class and many educated women of all faiths

:shrug:

Why do you care what Laila's nationality is? How are your little ad hominems relevant to this discussion? Your religious views reveal the hypocrisy of your position on this issue, but Laila is openly Muslim.
 
Name calling. Very nice. :sarcasticclap

This is exactly my point. Your freedoms are actually measured not by the rights you defend for yourself, but by the rights you defend for those you consider your ideological enemies.

Correction...

Saddam was pretty wealthy.
 
tis a reminder and a symbol, nothing magical about that. literal =/= metaphorical :shrug: plenty of real reasons to take issue against LDS without resorting to hype

If you live amongst the LDS (and I did, for 10 years), you find that the average believer very much believes that garments have magical properties to prevent them from harm, injury, and/or sin.

The point remains...why is a muslim wearing religious clothes scary, but a Catholic nun, a mormon, or a Greek orthodox priest wearing religious clothes = not scary?

because we (u.s. society) identify religious muslims with terror. wrongly, but there it is.
