1078: Magic Underwear

Had to finally register after listening to this show. Being a former Mormon myself, this brought back some memories.

You have to understand, he probably seemed hesitant to talk about the "magic underwear" for a few reasons: 1) You really can't talk about the garments as a Mormon. When you first get them you make promises to never talk about them or the other ceremonies/covenants associated with them except in vague terms. In fact, you're really not supposed to talk about the ceremonies to other Mormons either unless you are in the temple. 2) He was probably at least slightly offended that you kept referring to them as magic underwear. 3) Mormons don't like to talk about how their religion really is weird. They don't want to focus on their underwear or polygamy, they want to talk about other aspects of their religion. "Milk before meat."

And maybe he never experienced it himself, but there are some quotas for teaching people and baptizing on missions. On my mission, we had an Area Authority (big wig) come rip us a new one because we weren't baptizing enough people.

BTW, Kolob is the name of the star closest to where God resides.
