https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mormonssecret-site-uses-ann-romney-mitt-romney-sell-magic-underwear_n_1962427


Sometimes referred to glibly as “Magic Mormon Underwear,” replicas of the special white temple garments are now being sold online through a new website called MormonsSecret.com, founded by a self-professed former Mormon.

Mormon’s Secret uses photoshopped images of Mitt and Ann Romney wearing the special undergarments, which come in a selection of styles.

The website claims to be unique in its business model:

For the first time in history, online shoppers can purchase these magical temple garments without first joining the Mormon church and giving up 10% of their income in tithes. Our goal is to make “magical” underwear available to the masses for use as costume wear, fetish wear, and all your kinky, dress-up needs.

All the undergarments are assembled in China, but the authentic Mormon symbols, heirloom stitching techniques, and traditional Masonic symbols are hand-sewn on each garment in the United States, according to the website. Each item is priced between $32 and $46.

According to Brigham Young University, these types of white garments, similar in pattern to plain T-shirts and long pajama bottoms, must be worn by members of the church who have received the ordinance of the temple endowment. They must be worn under their clothes (including bras for women) every day as an “outward expression of an inward covenant.”

There is a limited market for such clothing and it is also much dearer.

Ha! By the time I left the church even limited recommends had been updated I think. My limited recommend was huge. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I never had one myself but the missionaries showed me theirs. Just cards with s bar code on the back. I don’t think they had photos on them but I might not have noticed.

You know, you can sell used underwear on eBay. Then go out and buy Victoria's secret. Especially if it's steel workers underwear. There's a market for everything.

Using a stolen image like this is NOT cool.

Perhaps they stole images of the magic underwear and attempted to reproduce it, reverse engineer it, or adapt it for the People's Liberation Army, or something. Then they found it doesn't accomplish a blooming thing! Big disappointment, there.

MODERATOR ALERT! :+)

So, let's make this thread hot and controversial! How do you think President Trump's tariff agenda will affect the import of cheap Chinese magic underwear? Might economical temple-goers check out the more economical underwares? (sic) Will they stay loyal to tried-and-true American-made Jesus Jammies? Who will win the impending trade (under)war?

The joke was over and Mitt lost. So, no use to keep mormonsecret.com around.
