I've been told by Uber TBMs:

there's a LIST of activities that it's O.K. to take off your garmies for, it includes:

swimming/exercise

sex

(?) going to a physician

(?) others

Does anyone know if this list is official?

pg. 191 Handbook 2(the one the members are allowed to see, Handbook 1 is for bishies and sp), Administering the Church 2010

"Endowed members should wear the temple garment both day and night. They should not remove it, either entirely or partially, to work in the yard or for other activities that can reasonably be done with the garment worn properly beneath the clothing. Nor should they remove it to lounge around the home in swimwear or immodest clothing. When they must remove the garment, such as for swimming, they should put it back on as soon as possilbe.

Members should not adjust the garment or wear it contrary to instructions in order to acommodate different styles of clothes. Nor should they alter the garment from its authorized design. When two-piece garments are used, both pieces should always be worn.

The garment is sacred and should be treated with respect at all times. Garments should be kept off the floor. They should also be kept clean and mended. After garments are washed, they should not be hung in public areas to dry. Nor should they be displayed or exposed to the view of people who do not understand their significance. (*This is why people don't wear them to the doctor, or masseuse. :))

Members who have made covenants in the temple should be guided by the Holy Spirit to answer for themselves personal questions about wearing the garment."


.....blah blah and then it talks about how the bishop can inform you of needy endowed members you can give your "good condition" garmies to. Cheap church won't even help them to buy new underwear-yuck.
