Note: NO THIS PAGE IS NOT A JOKE.
Mormons really do wear those weird garments and perform the handshakes in their temples. Please don't write to me and tell me this page is a bad joke.
And I DO NOT hate Mormons either.

Mormon Temple Apparel

A couple in temple robesFrom a Provo temple lockerTemple name page: see if your secret name is on the list, submit it

BTW, why do the temples have lockers
with locks & keys? It's a mystery.

 


The temple robes --> (modifying this just now, be patient)

Mormon underwearThis is what modern 2-piece garments look like. Go to Richard Packham's page to see a bigger version.

 

Ruler of the bedroomHere are some photos of men's one-piece garments, still sold. Unfortunately I don't yet have a women's one-piecer. I'm expecting a parcel with one from Kristine L. A. (should I write her whole last name here? Maybe.) in Salem since ... September 2003 or so.
Update 06/26/2004 Oh well, I guess she thought it would be more fun to use my money $60 for something for herself instead. What a shitty thing. Never send money to an exmormon without having some way to make sure they'll do what they have offered to do with it.

Who Really Wrote The Book of Mormon? by Howard A. Davis (et al.) (1977) From the introduction: "In this book we shall present the overwhelming evidences that convinced us that Solomon Spalding is actually the source of the composition now known as The Book of Mormon, originally a novel titled The Manuscript Found. We ask only that you read this book carefully and come to your own reasoned conclusion as to the true source of The Book of Mormon."
