Garment Guidelines for Military, Law Enforcement, and Firefighters Garment Guidelines for Military, Law Enforcement, and Firefighters Standard white temple garments should be worn by endowed members. However, military and certain public service organizations (as listed below) are approved to wear uniform clothing items that have been marked by Beehive Clothing as authorized garments when they meet the following requirements: 1. Uniform policy dictates that no other undergarment may be worn and that the designated uniform item is the only undergarment permitted. 2. Wearing the standard white temple garment could endanger the wearer’s life. 3. Harsh environments or working conditions are such that wearing an additional undergarment besides the required uniform item would place the wearer at significant risk of harm or injury. 4. Organization insignia, such as name and branch of service, are allowed. No other logos or insignia are permitted. Words and images not in harmony with the sacred nature of the garment are not permitted. 5. Tank tops and sleeveless shirts will not be marked. All shirts must have sleeves and necklines similar to standard temple garments. 6.

    GIVING FAITHFUL TESTIMONY: THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE, MORMON WOMEN’S SEXUALITY, AND THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES Jill Marie Peterfeso A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of Master in the Department of Religious Studies. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Laurie Maffly-Kipp Randall Styers Thomas Tweed ABSTRACT JILL PETERFESO: Giving Faithful Testimony: Theatrical Performance, Mormon Women’s Sexuality, and The Vagina Monologues (Under the direction of Thomas A. Tweed) This thesis rests at the intersection of women’s studies, performance studies, and Mormon studies. Using two case studies—a performance of Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues at Utah Valley State College and a Sunstone magazine conference session known as The Mormon Vagina Monologues—this thesis explores how Mormon women have used the theatrical medium to explore their sexuality. By staging or scripting their sexual lives within a community of actors or playwrights, and for a public audience, these women give faithful testimony—not about their religious faith, but about their sexual selves. This public testimony has generated, but it also has enabled the women to find healing, foster empowerment, and reconstitute community. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter I.

  • Ss Lesson 5 Prepare for Blessings of Temple Russell Nelson
    23- “The fundamental principle ought to be to wear the garment and not to find occasions to remove Anyone who is willing to prepare well may enter the temple it. Thus, members should not remove either all or part of the garment to work in the yard or to lounge 11- Because a temple is sacred, the Lord asks that it be protected from desecration. Anyone may enter around the home in swimwear or immodest clothing. Nor should they remove it to participate in who is willing to prepare well for that privilege. The concept of preparation prevails in other fields of recreational activities that can reasonably be done with the garment worn properly beneath regular endeavor. I remember when I was but a young boy, I told my parents I wanted to attend the university. clothing. When the garment must be removed, such as for swimming, it should be restored as soon as They said I could, but only if I worked hard in preliminary schooling and met all the requirements for possible. admission to the university. Similarly, we must qualify for admission to the temple. We prepare 24- “The principles of modesty and keeping the body appropriately covered are implicit in the covenant physically, intellectually, and spiritually. Eligibility is determined individually for each person applying for and should govern the nature of all clothing worn. Endowed members of the Church wear the garment a recommend. as a reminder of the sacred covenants they have made with the Lord and also as a protection against 12- Those who hold keys of priesthood authority and responsibility help us prepare by conducting temptation and evil.

  • An Outward Expression of an Inward Commitment
    An Outward Expression of an Inward Commitment MARY C. HALES This address was given, May 2, 2003 at the BYU Women’s Conference © 2003 by Brigham Young University, Women’s Conference All rights reserved. For further information write: BYU Women’s Conference, 352 Harman Continuing Education Building, Provo, Utah 84602. (801) 422-7692 E-mail: [email protected] Home page: http://womensconference.byu.edu At April general conference I looked around as the Conference Center filled with twenty- one thousand people. I was impressed by how good they looked—they were cleaned up, covered up, and well behaved, no one’s appearance screaming for attention, no loud strident voices or profane language, just decency, modesty, and cheerfulness. From what we generally see in the world, one might think a modest person is a lone voice crying in the wilderness, but here were twenty-one thousand—and, with each succeeding session, twenty-one thousand more until there were one hundred thousand—all great examples of modesty in its complete sense. What is modesty in its complete sense? The Encyclopedia of Mormonism defines modesty as “a quality of mind, heart, and body, modesty is an attitude of humility, decency, and propriety that may be evidenced in thought, language, dress, and behavior. Modesty or immodesty is reflected in almost every aspect of human life.”1 Our prophet President Gordon B. Hinckley, in his book Stand a Little Taller, said this: “Of all the creations of the Almighty, there is none more beautiful, none more inspiring than a lovely daughter of God who walks in virtue, with an understanding of why she should do so, who honors and respects her body as a thing sacred and divine, who cultivates her mind and constantly enlarges the horizon of her understanding, who nurtures her spirit with everlasting truth.”2 You will notice he did not say she walks in virtue, period.

    “If the Savior Stood Beside Me, Would I Wear the Things I Wear?” Carol F. McConkie ______________________________________________________________________ This address was given Thursday, May 2, 2013 at the BYU Women’s Conference © 2013 by Brigham Young University Women’s Conference. All rights reserved For further information write: BYU Women’s Conference 161 Harman Continuing Education Building Provo, Utah 84602 801-422-7692 E-mail: [email protected] Home page: http://womensconference.byu.edu ______________________________________________________________________ Why is modesty so important? Why would a hemline, a neckline, or a T-shirt matter to the Lord? I am the mother of five daughters and two sons, and as you can imagine, the topic of modesty has come up in our home once in a while! But, over the years, I have learned that modesty is taught best by teaching the doctrine and setting a positive example. The doctrine will help our children understand why modesty is so important. Our example will demonstrate the blessings of modesty in happy ways. What is modesty? Modesty is a God-given principle to help us learn to use our bodies appropriately here in mortality. The definition of modesty I will use today comes from True to the Faith: “An attitude of humility and decency in dress, grooming, language, and behavior.”1 Modesty is the opposite of boastfulness or vanity. Modest people do not use their bodies or their behavior to seek approval from the world or draw attention to their own real or supposed accomplishments or desirable attributes. As we talk about modesty today, please remember that these principles apply to both men and women, and that even as we teach and exemplify modesty for our young women, we never condemn those that choose short skirts or “rainbow hair and the many splendored rings.”2 Always, we exemplify compassion and Christlike love for the individual while we remain loyal to the standards the Lord has set.

  • Raising the Bar of Modesty
    To Clothe a Temple We were excited when we were given this topic because we feel it is so important. Modesty helps us to make our bodies temples in which the Lord’s Spirit may dwell. As parents, we can use the child’s earliest years to instill principles of modesty and to form correct habits which will help them when faced with peer pressure. After all of our research we realize that it is not just a problem with our youth. We all need to be aware of what we are wearing and whether we are inviting the companionship of the Spirit. In the March 2005 Young Women Conference President Thomas S. Monson admonished…”Do not let your passions destroy your dreams… Wickedness never was happiness,” He warned of consequences of moral transgressions because of the rising tide of permissiveness marked in part by a growing tendency for young women to dress immodestly. “Don’t you believe it! There is a time of reckoning,” John S. Tanner, Ensign, Aug. 1992, 44 Guided by these principles, we might answer for ourselves specific questions such as these: —Does my attire call improper attention to me? Do my clothes cause people to focus on my outward appearance in such a way that they might either misunderstand me or misjudge my character? —Is my attire revealing? Does it properly cover my nakedness? (Here, the temple garments might serve as a guide to the Lord’s standards.) —Does my clothing suit the occasion? Does it fit the environment in which I am wearing it? For example, we are asked to wear our best clothing (whatever this may be) to the temple and to Church meetings in order to lend reverence, restraint, and dignity to the atmosphere where sacred ordinances are performed.

Asay Emeritus Member of the First Quorum of the Seventy Ensign, Aug. 1997, pp. 19-23 Through sacred covenants with the Lord, we receive promises of blessings and protection.

  • Lds Women's Temple Rituals and the Politics of Religious
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: ―PRIESTESSES UNTO THE MOST HIGH GOD‖: LDS WOMEN‘S TEMPLE RITUALS AND THE POLITICS OF RELIGIOUS IDENTITY Nazneen Kane, Ph.D., 2011 Directed By: Professor Patricia Hill Collins, Ph.D., Sociology This study enters into broader debates surrounding the study of women in traditional religions by examining the ways in which LDS women utilize temple ritual in the ongoing construction of religious identity. In-depth interviews with eighteen LDS women are explored to highlight themes in LDS women‘s perspectives regarding temple rituals. I demonstrate that LDS women‘s perspectives on these ceremonies reveal that LDS women draw from an amalgam of competing dominant, alternative, and oppositional discourses to define their religious experiences and identities. These self-definitions revealed that the women in this study drew from ritual symbols, gestures, images, and dialogue to shift normative definitions of LDS women as mothers who bear and raise children to more expansive identities of LDS women as ―priestesses unto the most high God.‖ I argue that examining the practices of women in traditional religions reveals hidden layers of their experiences, identities, and ways of knowing. ―PRIESTESSES UNTO THE MOST HIGH GOD‖: LDS WOMEN‘S TEMPLE RITUALS AND THE POLITICS OF RELIGIOUS IDENTITY By Nazneen Kane Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2011 Advisory Committee: Professor Patricia Hill Collins, Chair Associate Professor Jeffrey Lucas Professor Deborah Rosenfelt Professor Bonnie Thornton Dill Associate Professor Katie King © Copyright by Nazneen Kane 2011 Dedication Lovingly dedicated to Imani Bea and to my father, who rooted in me a sociological imagination.
