So if i'm understanding Mormon theology correctly, people will have physical bodies in the celestial kingdom. Will they wear clothes? And if so, will they have to dress modestly?

they will all wear togas

not only that but you get a "pet" rock. It'll be your own personal urim & thummin:

D&C 130:10-11,--10 Then the white stone mentioned in Revelation 2:17, will become a Urim and Thummim to each individual who receives one, whereby things pertaining to a higher order of kingdoms will be made known;

11 And a white stone is given to each of those who come into the celestial kingdom, whereon is a new name written, which no man knoweth save he that receiveth it. The new name is the key word.

Everyone will wear the white onesie just the clothes used for baptism.

Fig leafs aren't modest, or white, but how do you get cotton to heaven?

No bodies in (fake) CK. No sex. No clothes. No hiding anything. No CK.

Clothes are to cover dummies on earth. No? This is elementary.

HOW could it be 'celestial' if people wore clothes?

Remember: Nudism isn't about body shapes/sizes!

If I remember correctly from the temple, Elohim and Jehovah wore white/silver lame...so is that the celestial fabric? Seems like quite an uncomfortable fabric for eternity...another reason Mormon heaven would really be hell.

God and Mormon jesus clothing is so we mere mortals don't completely burn up and die from their full frontal glory and priesthoods. :)

I think it's wise to remember that religious beliefs about an after life are all imaginary -- made up. There are thousands of ideas about the afterlife -- all very creative. All man made out of their imagination. It's only believed by faith. Faith never requires any facts.

Consider that the after life is our essence -- just energy that cannot be destroyed. The physical body is gone. NO need for one ever again. Seems much more reasonable.

Consider also that all of religion is for taking control of people while living while making promises for following the demands and punishments for breaking the rules in their imaginary after life, none of which is factual. What if none of that is true or useful and only for the living? That's my position.

If you're a god, you can not be tempted to sin. So what good would clothes do? Why bother?

Well, if JS is to be believed (cue loud laughter), Moroni wore a robe but otherwise went commando.

Joseph Smith History 1:31

"He had on a loose robe of most exquisite whiteness. It was a whiteness beyond anything earthly I had ever seen; nor do I believe that any earthly thing could be made to appear so exceedingly white and brilliant. His hands were naked, and his arms also, a little above the wrist; so, also, were his feet naked, as were his legs, a little above the ankles. His head and neck were also bare. I could discover that he had no other clothing on but this robe, as it was open, so that I could see into his bosom."


You might think that celestial robes might be made of silk or satin, or some heavenly synthetic CK fabric manufactured by special ministering servant angels. Nope, they're made from (drum roll please) wool. Plain old wool. And remember, it's *hot* on Kolob. "God dwells in everlasting burnings." [King Follett Sermon] Poor gods must be sweating bullets underneath all that wool. No wonder they don't use underwear.

Heber C. Kimball, February 9, 1862, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 9, pp. 375-76:

"Some of you have got an idea that wool will not do; but let me inform you that when Peter came and sat in the Temple in Kirtland, he had on a neat woollen garment, nicely adjusted round the neck. What do sheep wear next the skin? wool, of course. What do goats wear? hair, for that is their nature. These are facts that are apparent to all who will look."


The telestial kingdom is probably clothing-optional, since that's where all the hedonists and partiers wind up.

So, no garmies then.
Or was this "celestial being" just not wearing garmies because old Joe hadn't invented them yet? Hmm...

Polygamy wives will wear the required white fish net thigh high stockings to keep their husband turned on, and cap sleeves, oh, how scandalous! Rotate in, rotate out of the line-up. Pregnant wives are on the bench for a time out, wearing white, giant maternity choir robes. Whistle! Birth those babies! Stop slacking!

Men wear white shirts and ties, white pants, like ice cream truck drivers... 50's hair... since that seems the time warp the brethren are in. Velcro pants, due to celestial sex non-stop. They pretend to look busy carrying around tubes of drafting plans for their new planets, and a list of potential Jesus and devil candidates. They wear white cowboy boots to boot out 1/3 of their children for following Satan, because that's what loving fathers do. The rest of the kids can't return home unless they follow LDS Inc minutia to the letter. Wait! Wasn't complete control Satan's plan? Hmmmm.

Hand me downs from DI in the sky is what I'd expect from a God who can't afford a janitorial staff.

Yes, they wear clothes in heaven. Considering it's a celestial realm, rather than the "celestial kingdom," that's just a play on words.

From flowing white robes, to handsomely made suits of fine cloth, (or what passes for cloth in the heavens, probably finer than what we're used to,) down to everyday clothing, including simple but modest dresses for women, to polo shirts for little boys.

They come in all sizes. So there must be a dressmaker in heaven.

For those who don't "make it" to that realm, I have no clue. Just speaking from personal observations from visitations I've had with some family and loved ones on the other side.

I figure since there's a heaven, there must also be a hell.

Since it is all speculation here's my take.

Birthday suits all around.

The CK residents will be perfect. They will want to be neat, clean, and ever modest between having sex and giving birth to hundreds of thousands of spirit babies.

Since they're buried in the temple clothing, I would assume it would be the temple clothes since that is how you will be resurrected. Enjoy the baker hat.

JSH 131
"I could discover that he had no other clothing on but this robe, as it was open, so that I could see into his bosom."

Sounds like Moroni wasn't wearing garments.

That was because JS hadn't thought up garments yet.

Ezekiel 10:2 states linen but Rev 10:1 says clouds

We'll all be naked. Clothing is only for a fallen world.

That's why there's such a push to overcome porn in this life. If you haven't you wouldn't be able to handle the temptations of the CK, what with all the celestial bodies everywhere you look.

Green fig leaf aprons and baker's hats?

I'm looking forward to a magnificent walk-in closet, fully bedecked. ;-)

And a housekeeper, yard horticulturist, chauffeur to drive my horse and buggy (no cars in heaven,) and a cook.

I wouldn't want to messy up my pretty manicure, now would I? ;-)

This is all presuming I get to inherit a pretty mansion when I die, with parklike grounds. Or else ... I could end up somewhere else altogether.

Since we don't get to pick and choose, it will be what it will be. I may get reincarnated into a fish. Good thing I don't believe in that kind of karma. Sometimes I wonder if very evil people get reincarnated into something creepy crawly?

Que sera sera.

(The reason I haven't checked out yet, I've fully decided, is because heaven isn't ready for me, and hell doesn't want me. I'm too hot to handle. Or a handful. Tee hee.)

:P

The nicest clothes will be in whatever kingdom fashion designers are "condemned" to.

See, this is why the Mormon concept of the celestial kingdom didn't appeal to me. All the great artists, writers, musicians, thinkers -- the INTERESTING people, the FUN people -- would be in the lower kingdoms. Gee, I'd much rather be with them than a bunch of pious Mormons.
