I was reading on mormon VIP lounge on fb and someone linked an Ellen show about a mormon getting a new car from Ellen. This was the ad that showed up with the link:

Is this for real? More proof of the cult.

I really don't know why I said this. We've been out for twenty years but still have the needle point picture of the St. George Temple my wife produced several years after our sealing. It's a very good example of skilled work and for that reason alone we've kept it around and hanging in the bedroom. Is that leftover cultishness?

Only if my idea works and is considered cultish too!

I think the cross-stitch work IS really pretty, and takes a lot of patience. With that, I also believe the temples are still a part of who I am. My parent's married there. My children were sealed to me (and I don't even believe in that ordinance anymore), I PAID PRECIOUS money to help build one, my children donated things for a time capsule on temple grounds.

Do 'fallen' Catholics throw away the pictures of their weddings in their cathedrals? I know, I know... Our temples have nothing on many cathedrals, but I still find many temples to be beautiful. And a few still have meaning to me. Like where my parents were sealed, like the one I paid so much money to have built, like the one where my kids wouldn't sit still and stopped the ceremony, like.... Or do other non-Christians (other than ISIS) destroy religious symbols just because they don't believe?

BUT, wearing more stuff to signify your religion, yeah, I really guess that could be rather cultish!

Thanks. I got to thinking that Mormonism is part of who we are and that's probably why I've kept all of my LDS scriptures in a very dusty spot on the bookshelf. Her needle work is really very good. Since she has retired she has channeled that energy towards quilting. Everyone got quilts last Christmas.

Oh, by the way, I am now Catholic.

If you scroll down, you are asked to let the site know where you heard about the firm.

I chose "other" and then filled in the request for the name of the site:

"Exmormon.org where we are laughing at you!"

So Eric, if you get a big box of temple socks, I want the St. George socks...

So, you wear their temples on your temple?

"we love to wear the temple."

"Wouldn't it be sweet if we could buy a pair with an LDS temple on it?"

What a great idea. It looks as "sweet" as a T-shirt with a giant picture of a temple on it. They exist.

You are basically downgrading your "sacred" places and advertising your exclusiveness when someone asks you if they can visit that place.

And it is no different than wearing a giant cross in dressing down your "religion."

Sweet as in spiritually sweet. Cool it is not.

my tbm daughter except they don't have the temple she is getting married in. She'd actually find this anti.

It is on some lds site. Let me go check. It was linked from mormon VIP lounge on facebook, though, which is for exmormons.

It is on LDS Living magazine.

Or are these socks not considered as magical and protective as the garments?
