In this episode, we talk all about GARMENTS! In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, members who have made temple covenants with God are told to wear ‘garments’ or a special undergarment that goes below the clothing (for pictures of garments and more explanation, check out this video made by the Church: • Sacred Temple Clothing ).
Justin and Samantha talk about when they choose to wear the temple garment, what we should do when someone chooses not to wear the temple garment, and the purpose of temple garments, We also address YOUR thoughts from our Instagram page to temple garments (follow us on Instagram so you can be part of the conversation!).
What have you learned about temple garments? Let us know in the comments below!!

My mom once told me a story of when my dad was outside re-shoeing our horse and the horse ended up kicking him in the chest right over his heart. He felt the impact and was pushed to the ground, but was completely unharmed; not so much as a bruise. There was even a hoof-print outline on his shirt where the horse had made contact. His friend who was with him was a paramedic and told him that he should have been killed instantly by that kick, bu my dad and his friend both agreed he was saved by the power of God. Temple garments do not do the saving but wearing them is a symbol and reminder of promises to keep God's commandments, and through keeping those promises there can be miracles you experience while wearing temple garments.
Nofxthepirate !,,, ive heard so many stories similar to this in my family.... I believe !
God will take special care to save your dad from death by a horse but allows thousands of children to die from malnutrition as a matter of course in the third world... OK.
@@bradrjones1 It's very easy to say "why does God help this person but not that person". It is very hard to see why entire groups of people seem to be neglected and forgotten by God, but how do you know that God hasn't touched their lives in small ways as well?
The LDS church teaches that the ability to choose is the most important aspect of this existence. If powerful people choose to neglect third world countries, or if leaders of third world countries deny their own people dignity and daily needs, that is their choice and they will be judged harshly for it after this life.
God could stop all the bad things from happening in the world, but that would defeat the purpose of existence. I see a lot of people in videos of third world countries who work much harder to survive than a lot of people in first world countries. I believe those people will be rewarded eternally for that struggle, even if their mortal lives are cut short by the neglect of others.
One of the hardest things for me to understand in the LDS religion is the perspective that this life is just a test. While we are here, we cannot understand why the test is so hard, but if the teacher simply gave you the answers for the test, what good would it do you?
I don't claim to know that God himself put forth his hand to save my dad's life(it was likely one of his angels anyway, but that is beside the point); what I do know is that I can't explain why he survived that incident without harm, and I know that he went on to help a lot of people in his life before his death last year. Perhaps God saved my dad's life so that my dad could help many more people in his remaining years. On the other hand, saving someone's life who is forgotten by the world and their government; someone who would have little power to help others because their ability to choose has been taken from them by oppressive or neglectful leaders. Saving someone like that may just prolong their torture on Earth. In some sense, releasing them from the burden of their horrible existence may be God's way of saying "Enough is enough, your suffering can now end and you will be rewarded for your perseverance". It would take a reshaping of the entire political dynamic of the earth to truly fix the problems plaguing third world countries. That is not something that God will do until the second coming.
The LDS church and many other organizations do a great deal of humanitarian work around the globe, but suffering will always exist until the second coming of Christ. Indignant frustration at the injustices of the world does no good in helping to eliminate those injustices. The best we can hope for is to do our part to ease the suffering of others. Those with a greater capacity to help should help more, but people still have their agency to choose what they will do.
Well that sounds like BS lol.
I've heard people use the S rule to remember appropriate times to take off the garments: Shower, Swimming, Sex, and Sports
Eating Soup
I think it’s important to remember that we do not get endowed or go through the temple so that we can go on a mission or get married. Being endowed, and making those covenants allows us to serve missions and be married in the temple. The endowment is the important part, and the first. The rest comes second, and only because of the first.
XYU not true at all
@XYU Anyone can take the sacrament, but you are right about the Temple.
@XYU Yea, the big question, "Do you feel worthy to enter the temple?" That is what the interview comes down to.
@XYU I am not dodging the question, you refuse to listen to the answer. You have set up a false dichotomy. The Sacraments, all of them, are invitations to follow Christ, to obey His command to be Perfect, and to Endure to the End. Implicit in these invitations is the need for repentance. Worthiness interviews help us reexamine our own lives, and we decide if we need further repentance. If we are unsure, then the Priesthood Keys are there to help us. It is not a binary. Quite often negative responses still receive Temple Recommends, along with additional counseling. Mostly it is the interviewee who decides that they are not worthy, rarely is it the Bishop.
Here's my take.
The actual garment itself is just a piece of clothing. It's no different than a regular undershirt or a tshirt. The covenant (the promise between you and god) is what protects you from harm, whether its physical, spiritual, or mental harm. The garment is a reminder of our promise to God. If we show respect and uphold our covenant to God, God will hold up his end of the deal. When it comes to confronting members about how they wear the garment, unless they're running about outside in just their garments, leave them alone. The covenant is a 1 on 1 issue between them and God.
Not only do I have a special hamper for my garments, I use the time when I am folding them in pairs, I listen to church music and have reflection time. Even the water temperature (105) no warmer with a gentle spin and gentle in the dryer. I spot treat every item. No bleach. No fabric softener.The fabrics garments are made from are dyed white. So I remember when I am cleaning them, it’s not a dirty pair of socks. After 28 years of wearing garments, cleaning them is self care. I want them to be perfect. To me, it’s another way to show them respect. It also makes them last longer. They are designed to last 52 washings. I am a big laundry nerd , so please forgive me for rambling. I hope this was helpful. I appreciate everything you guys do. I miss it in Provo.
10:24 from this to the end is just 👌🏼 right on point for guidelines/mindset/rules (if you want to call it that) to follow in regards to when to wear/not wear your garments. And, more importantly, how to live. Good job y’all.
I'm not Mormon, and I've always felt that people calling them "magic underwear" is disrespectful. It's courteous for you to answer these questions, but it's really no one else's business.
That cult deserves to be disrespected.
Mormonism is a cult that needs to be disrespected
@@jasonaltig985 Isn't Mormonism basically the only sect of Christianity that says if you disagree with them you'll still go to Heaven? That doesn't seem cult like to me.
@@turtletoons1016yep! But they don't want to talk about that.. 🤷🥰
I love the way you two explain this.
Okay, now I've heard the whole video. The ordinances of the temple give us priesthood power. Garments do give us protection, which is *spiritual*, and I love wearing mine. We're told to wear them throughout our lives. And I have never seen an instagram comment about whether a person is wearing garments or not.
Maybe this is too personal, but bras and panties can be worn under garments. I was taught they should be worn over, which greatly decreases comfort and makes dealing with periods more complicated. I didn't know they could be worn under garments until last year, and this knowledge has been life changing.
Kinda reminds me of this story an elderly neighbor told me about her husband:
So he on his mission, (I don’t exactly remember where, but if I remember right, it was somewhere in a America.) and this priest from some other Christianity sector kept pestering him and his partner missionary about their “magic underwear” and various other common and weak insults to LDS people inside of a bookstore, so to get the priest to leave them alone, the missionary shouted as loud as he could: “WHY ARE YOU SO INTERESTED IN MY UNDERWEAR!?!?!” The priest, realizing how much trouble he is in with that might being taken out of context, decides to stop pestering them for the rest of the missionaries mission.
Moral: If you are going to pester Latter Day Saints, atleast get a good arguement. that and just don’t bully people in general, regardless of faith.
david janbaz you don’t NEED to, but you still do.
david janbaz to each their own I guess
so what...? Other Christan groups swear too.
My husband and I gave each of our four daughters a 3-syllable first name.
Being free from drugs and alcohol gives you more freedom because you have more control of your own mind.
david janbaz no, but being worthy to wear them means being free from drugs and alcohol.
david janbaz she’s really young, but it sounds good! I also like the duets with the saxophone!
J'aime vraiment beaucoup vos discussions !!
i respect that it reminds you of your covenant i respect also some whom where a bare cross around their neck reminds them of the covenant made by them after finishing bible instruction course - me personally never where under shirt as get too hot - i understand what you are saying now thank you
The random h3h3 clip got me
Great explanation, thank you. Quick question - I live in Phoenix, AZ and tank-tops are the norm here for women in the summer. Are LDS women not allowed to wear them? Thank you in advance.
Tina C no. We wear clothes to cover the garments. And garments cover the shoulders. I live I florida and it’s the same here. It’s definitely an adjustment in the summer.
@@davidjanbaz7728 do priests wear that little black collar while swimming? I don't think they do...i could be wrong.
AZ is my home state and my love! I know it's harder to wear another layer in 110° but honestly you don't notice after awhile. As far as tank tops, women's garment tops are capped at the shoulder. So while a tank top wouldn't work, there are tons of really short options.
@@davidjanbaz7728 garments aren't spaghetti strapped. They are meant for modest wear with modest clothes. I think you're thinking in very superficial terms in this regard. Is it really so harmful to just not wear a tank top? Is that really the point you want to fight God on?
david janbaz That’s actually not true that other religions don’t have undergarments. For example, devout Sikhs (Amritdari) wear undergarments called Kachera. Also in Orthodox Judaism, Tallit Katan is worn.
Serious question:
Will the members that follow all the other rules, but they don’t wear garments, still enter the highest level of the celestial kingdom?
I’ve recently researching more about the faith and learned about garments, and I’ve noticed several TH-camr couples that stopped wearing garments once they got married. I assume they wore them leading up to the marriage so they could have a temple wedding, and it seems like once they know they’re sealed, they no longer feel the need to wear garments.
I can tell they aren’t wearing them because they wear tank tops and short shorts in their Instagram pictures and videos, and they aren’t going to the beach/swimming or working out.. but I know they’re still Mormon because they talk it!
TLDR: Once you’re sealed, is it “hard” to lose that sealing and be demoted to a lower level of heaven? Is that why so many members don’t feel the need to wear garments anymore?
XYU I believe in God and am a bible believing Christian and I know that the Book of Mormon is a false doctrine and that members are deceived! I just want to understand fully what they (along with other religions) believe so that I can better share the truth of who God really is to them!! It breaks my heart to see people who are so close, but still lost!!!!
That is not the norm for practicing memebers. They would have to "repent" and start wearing them at some point to fully qualify for the Celestial Kingdom. It also is not too uncommon for couples to just get married in the temple for their families when in fact they are already non believing.
Cool Cat hasn't given us an answer to most of your questions because He will judge. We don't need to know that much detail.
First, I am not sure that is concrete evidence that someone is never wearing their garments. I do not when I go to the gym, not that it is anyone's business. Many do not wear them when exercising. At the end of the day, there is no Temple Recommend Police. Every person decides for themselves if they feel they have kept their covenants.
@XYU The church isn't making me buy my place in the Celestial Kingdom. "buy your place" would be an accurate description if we had to give a certain amount of money and poor people wouldn't be able to give it. I gladly pay my tithing because I love God more than that money.
I saw my ex-father in law in his. Took all my strength to keep from laughing. Reminded me of "Little house on the Prairie"
I'm here because of h3h3 Ethan and Trish
4:00. Sikh women also don't cut their hair.
In Sommer it can be really really hot but to be honest I never though for one second that I want to take them of. I love to wear them and they just feel confident, and I never must think about my underwear 😂. Btw my wife is really serious about the “garments not in the floor” thing 😅
timneji where are you from?
@@TBIhope Germany but live in England
@@timneji ok, awesome! You spelled summer the germanic-but-not-English way!
@@TBIhope oh that’s true, I did not saw that before
Thank you!
How do you kmow that one of your friends stopped wearing garments? Do you have x-ray vision?
Garments tops have sleeves and the bottoms lay just above the knee. If someone is wearing a tank top and short shorts, you can tell. Although x-ray vision would be cool. I think. Maybe not. 🤔😂 Selective x-ray vision!
david janbaz we wear clothing that covers our garments. They remind us of sacred covenants we made and because of that we don’t want everyone seeing them. If I am wearing a tank top I’m usually wearing it as an undershirt, or when I am working out. Hope I cleared it up for you!
david janbaz but certainly endowed members of the church can wear whatever they choose! It’s between them and God. :)
Is it possible to receive the highest level of the celestial kingdom without wearing garments at all times?
david janbaz: Nice Socratic method, bud.
david janbaz: I don’t wear garments, and I have never worn any underwear in the shower. Personally, I recommend showering in the nude, but you should find out what works best for you.
david janbaz: I did. Surprisingly, it didn’t affect my shower routine.
david janbaz: I wore them as underwear. You can probably do the underwear math without my help, but I’m more interested in an answer to my original question. I know your position.
No one wears clothes at all times. So the answer is yes.
Justin are you and Zed from Zeducation, twins? Haha
I thought when the garments was talked about on a different time that they don't show up.
Justin & Samantha both of you have maintained a code of silence. Never did you address as to how you maintain these the garments clean. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Do not be afraid to use a wash board, cloth brush, water, baking soda, vinegar, and hydrogen-peroxide.
Lol what are you talking about ? that’s not the first thing you think of when you think about these undergarments, you act like their avoiding the question, jeez chill out.
So where's Kwaku?
Exactly. Named everyone but him lol.
He is no longer hosting the show. He does have his own channel though that he posts videos on. If you search his name on TH-cam, you can find it. Hope this helps :)
Oh ok
I had Superman underoos as a kid, they were cooler.
What if yu want to go to the beach
I don’t wear garments with my swimsuit. That wouldn’t work, obviously.
It is one of the exception. Just don't stay in the swimsuit 24/7.
I just don’t understand how underwear can be an expression to your devotion to god, but to each their own.
It's really no different than a Christian wearing a cross. It's symbolism
It is completely symbolic, no one would say a word if it were worn outside
@BV17 The thing is Mormonism has nothing to do with Exodus or Leviticus, friend.
A 19th century cult making up stuff and justifing it with the Old Testament is not argument.
Also we Catholics, wear no "special capes"
@@reiappreciator957 We don't justify garments with the Old Testament. We show that it isn't crazy or unprecedented to wear clothing for God.
Why are we still using "Mormon" terminology? I mean if you wanted to check out Mormon's underwear you'd have to go back 1500+ and ask him yourself
Showing garments on the cover image in rainbow colors and clouds along with the click bait title was a little disrepectful in my opinion.
Could have been done with a little more reverence.
When one of our church members was gunned down one morning. He caught five rounds (unfortunately, he died). His garments must have lost their Magic. A year later mine were in the dumpster.
Joseph York. I hope you change your mind. I have never seen a promise of absolute protection in an official teaching of the church. I won't put mine in a dumpster because the covenants I made in the temple are too sacred for me. God is real and we love each other so much.
@@Hamann9631 A month later our family went inactive. God had told me to leave, now.". Didn't discover til later that the Bishop had interrogated my teenage, autistic daughter about whether or not she had been molested by her mother or myself. She said, "No". Bishop then told to not tell her parents, teachers or even Heavenly Father. A jealous teen had started the accusation. My daughter was scared. This could have destroyed our family. My daughter knew that I loved the church and the Prophet and was afraid that I would choose the church over her. It more than a year after leaving that I found this out. God had our back. It was after much research and church silence that I realized that the Mormon church was not true. God said to not worry about religion or church/temple attendance in this life time. It's no longer on our heads.
holding hands is sex?
Everything this girl is saying is rubbish! You even SHUN people. You need to be reading a good non Mormon bible. Start reading the Lord's Word,not that of man. I challenge you to this!
They use the KJV Bible. That's not a "Mormon" Bible.
LOL, how about you let her think and say whatever she wants ? The same way you have a right to your opinion and religion, she does too. I’ll never understand why I see so many people on these types of videos so rude and angry about other people not believing what you believe in. Get over yourself.
You do you and stop bashing people on their vids! 👎🏻
Because God TOLD us to! And for your information...I was terrorised by Mormons who put their foot into my door and jammed it so I could not close it...they also left me a bible that was NOT KJ! I had family members who were Mormon so I think I KNOW it's rubbish and I will call out anyone leading others away from where they are meant to be heading! God Bless You
@@yeshuas_follower lmaooo dude your buggin, you have to joking/trolling, you sound insane. If you were genuinely hurt your going about it in the worst way possible.
Garments are meant to remind you of the destroyer.
