Exmos often decide to burn their garmies and temple clothes and years later wish they had them back to show to their kids or to investigators who need to learn the truth.

Cheryl,

So true. I got rid of mine and now wish I could show them to people who ask. They are hard to describe unless you see them.

What, destroy your sexy one of a kind underwear? You'll never get em back, now that your recommend is a thing of the past. May as well keep em as a souvenir and conversation piece.

Burning them would only add to air pollution. Throwing them away to environmental pollution. May as well keep em and become a hoarder.

:/

Oops..... since you were never a mormon Amyjo, you made the
simple mistake of thinking that "temple clothes" are the garments you call "Underware" NOt true . Temple clothes are the clothes you wear in the temple over your garments. Two seperate things.

If that's what you feel like doing Cold dodger... you should do it. I tossed my garments out in the trash and I have never regretted it. Why hang on to them?

Correction saucie. I was a sixth generation Mormon from my dad's side.

The garments were worn as underwear by my parents.

Temple clothes are for the temple, that you are correct.

I was six years old when my parents were sealed so went with them in the temple for that.

They were both buried in full temple clothing.

I'd buy them from you.

No need to burn them.

They're not garments. They're the halloween costume you wear in the temple.

Thanks for the reminder. I confused garments with temple clothing. But aren't garmies worn both inside and outside the temple, just under whatever else you are wearing whether street clothes or temple regalia?

Temple clothes are so hideous and frightening that they're only allowed to be worn inside the confines of the House of Handshakes.

Garments are the underwear you are issued after taking out your endowments for the first time. You wear them everyday. You also try not to be seen in them as they are hideous too. Surprised they're not used for birth control.

Since it's been clarified we are talking about the temple outfits to you. I'll answer your question.

I'd have a temple themed party for all my never Mo friends. I'd dress up in the temple robes to host.

Actually, I am female. I just love Monty Python and the Dennis Moore sketch.

Halloween is just around the corner.

The ladies get up makes a great ghost costume. Hmmm, there's got to be a metaphor in there somewhere.

I thought about keeping mine and at times I have wished that I had but when they surfaced, even in storage, I got this horrible, ugly , anger surface. They just reminded me of what a gullible, naive fool I had been and I would be flooded with feelings of worthlessness all over again. So I gave then the old toss into the garbage. Didn't cut out any marks, didn't bother to burn them (though that may have been cathartic) Just tossed them in garbage and off they went to the land fill.

I have held onto mine just for the fun of answering the door for mormons and asking, "what is wanted?"

Don't bother trying. We have it on good authority that temple garments don't burn. That's how they protect TBMs who catch on fire.

I tossed mine into a dumpster in Las Vegas. Given the polyester count, they'll be around longer than my Boner.

However you get rid of your garments and temple clothes, savor the moment!

The experience of getting rid of my temple underwear was--priceless! The timing was just right. I felt that burning the garments would be honoring them, in some way. I didn't want anyone else to wear those things. I wanted the garments to die a horrible death. It was garbage day, and on a whim, I threw them into a garbage bag, along with some coffee grounds, banana peels, and cat litter. I tied the bag-strings into a nice red bow, and dumped it into the garbage can, at the curb. I sat at my window, sipping a mug of coffee (my fourth cup EVER, and it never tasted as good as it did that morning). I watched the truck's automatic arm pick up the can, and dump the contents. The joy was beyond measure! The happiness was only beginning, for me and my whole family. That was 8 years ago.
