**BlaineRB Thanks, DavidM, I hope my second sojourn on TT will be productive for me. I certainly learned a LOT before. (:>) I hope I can be of some support to DavidH. If truth were to be told however, he does quite well by himself. He apparently, also, has learned a LOT on TT (:>). > > Blaine wrote: > > The main purpose of the Mormon undergarment is > > to cover the nakedness and thus help preserve > > the modesty of individuals, male and female. > > It sounds like you are saying that the Mormon undergarment is > primarily > for modesty?

(:>) However, will venture the following comment, hoping it does not provoke inappropriate commentary. We are counseled to wear the garments 24 hours a day, except when bathing.

Only adult Mormons who have had the temple ordinances are expected to wear them. Do you know any Mormons who do > not > wear them? Peace be with you. > David Miller, Beverly Hills, Florida. **BlaineRB Yes, Many. I would guess somewhere in the order of about 50% of all adult Mormons do not wear them. However, among active adult Mormons, I am sure the % would be much higher.
