So young morons....sorry, mormons....don't wear underwear?
Kinky bastards.
I just didn't fulfill the ordinance. The garments you don't get to wear until your endowments and I believe you have to be 18, I might be wrong about that. I know 12 year olds can only do as much as baptisms for the dead which I did.
To be able to do temple work you have to get a recommend from the bishop where you have interview in which you are asked questions to make sure you life style meets the church standard. The first question you are asked is if you accept The Bible, The Book of Mormon, D&C, and the POGP as the word of God and if you say no the interview is over and you don't get the recommend.
Further questions ask things like if you obey the law of chastity. Which means no sex outside of marriage, no pornography, and no masturbating.
This recommend folds up into the size of a credit card and now has a barcode which the bishop scans and puts your information into the computer and is good for six months I think. It will get you into any temple worldwide.
All the employees of the church are required to hold one of these during their employment and if they don't pass an interview after their recommend expires they are terminated on the spot. One employee who was gay but didn't date other men (you can be gay in the church as long as you don't give into your gay temptations from satan) was asked if he still had friends that were gay and he said yes. The stake president told him this violated the code saying you must not associate or particpate in groups that conflict with church teachings. Since he wasn't willing to abandon his gay friends he didn't get a recommend and lost his job.
