A few years ago, in a seminar for new temple presidents and matrons, Elder James E. Faust, then of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, told about his being called to serve as a General Authority. He was asked only one question by President Harold B. Lee: “Do you wear the garments properly?” to which he answered in the affirmative. He then asked if President Lee wasn’t going to ask him about his worthiness. President Lee replied that he didn’t need to, for he had learned from experience that how one wears the garment is the expression of how the individual feels about the Church and everything that relates to it. It is a measure of one’s worthiness and devotion to the gospel.
There are some who would welcome a detailed dress code answering every conceivable question about the wearing of the temple garment. They would have priesthood leaders legislate lengths, specify conditions of when and how it should and should not be worn, and impose penalties upon those who missed the mark by a fraction of an inch. Such individuals would have Church members strain at a thread and omit the weightier matters of the gospel of Jesus Christ (see Matt. 23:23–26).
Most Latter-day Saints, however, rejoice over the moral agency extended them by a loving Father in Heaven. They prize highly the trust placed in them by the Lord and Church leaders—a trust implied in this statement made by the Prophet Joseph Smith: “I teach them correct principles, and they govern themselves.”1
Samuel the Lamanite declared:
“And now remember, remember, my brethren, that whosoever perisheth, perisheth unto himself; and whosoever doeth iniquity, doeth it unto himself; for behold, ye are free; ye are permitted to act for yourselves; for behold, God hath given unto you a knowledge and he hath made you free.
“He hath given unto you that ye might know good from evil, and he hath given unto you that ye might choose life or death; and ye can do good and be restored unto that which is good, or have that which is good restored unto you; or ye can do evil, and have that which is evil restored unto you” (Hel. 14:30–31).
I believe there is a critical body of knowledge relating to the temple garment. When that knowledge is obtained, Latter-day Saints filled with faith wear the garment and wear it properly, not because someone is policing their actions but because they understand the virtues of the sacred clothing and want to “do good and be restored unto that which is good.” On the other hand, when one does not understand the sacred nature of the temple garment, the tendency is to treat it casually and regard it as just another piece of cloth.

Why are they struggling? It's obvious they lack patriotism and conviction to their country... #goodluck without the support of you nation
#USWNT largely silent during World Cup national anthem — again https://t.co/Rsh2FghfQA via @nypostsports
So the @USWNT feels that they are more important than the country they represent!?... Let's see how long that lasts when the country they "represent" forgets their entire legacy...
#VeteransDay is on opportunity for all to reflect on & appreciate the founding principles of this country, the freedoms we hold dear, & the servicemen & women who for generations have served & sacrificed to protect those freedoms. Honor those who serve by honoring WHY we serve.
@elonmusk@AJDelgado13 No such thing as an assault rifle, everything in this country of value is protected by firearms including government officials, celebrities, banks…. But we protect a majority of our schools with a sign saying this is a Gun Free Zone. I’ve never seen a law that stops a criminal
Whether Elon Musk ultimately buys Twitter, he’s done the world an invaluable service by forcing leftists to admit that Twitter & other social media outlets are biased & censorious, & that there's nothing that terrifies the left more than people having freedom of speech.
..... A society which permits anything will eventually lose everything! Liberated lemmings who continue the march to the sea may proudly think what they like, but soon the watery grave will envelop them...
