Some of the other symbols come from Rev 12

"1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

"I wonder if the Mormons have ever really thought about the association between the occult and the symbols on their undergarments. Non-Mormons have jokingly called the undergarments “magic underwear”. It sounds like they aren’t too far from the truth; even Mormons themselves believe they offer a protection from injury, temptation and sin. As I stated earlier it’s the markings the Mormons find scared not the cloth or design itself.

I think what gets me to the most about this special protective underwear isn’t so much that they wear a certain type of underwear, we all have our quirks. It’s that they are relying on a few strategically placed markings on a piece of cloth to protect them from falling into temptation or escaping in a car wreck unscathed. Instead, they should be putting their trust in God who promised to watch over us, be with us always, ( Psalm 121:1-4) and give us an escape from temptation ( 1 Cor 10:13]"When the garments became worn out, I was instructed to cut out the markings and burn them before discarding the rest of the material. Considering that after the markings are removed the garment material can be used as a rag or tossed in the trash, one has to wonder if they believe the “power” of their protection lies within the markings, and not the garment itself."

I am not being disrespectful---if you do not wish to participate---then don't---All of the above was a quote from a website by an ex-Mormon---I said nothing about any of it, those are her words, not mine.

Boy you don't get it. These things are sacred to us. We don't expect you to believe they are true but at least respect that they are sacred to us. This is wrong in so many different ways. You claim to follow Christ. Can you imagine Jesus doing something like this? If you do then the Jesus I try to follow would not stoop so low as to present what others believe to be sacred then we really do believe in a different Jesus.

A five pointed star and a pentagram are not the same thing. They both have 5 points----however, the one, that is used in occult practices, 2 points are up and one down. It is considered to be s symbol for the Great Goat in the Witch's Sabbath. It is not the 5 pointed star that is on the Mormon temples, but the sign of the occult.

What sre you upset about???? Are these not what you use?? Are these not the articles you use??----Is the Catholic church upset and having a tizzy fit because their symbols are put on websites??? Do the Jew get upset about pictures of their Torah?? Do Christians get upset over pictures of their crosses?? This is what an ex-Mormon said about these things. You have the right to refute if anything is not accurate. It's been established we do follow a different Jesus.

The symbol you are referring to was used by ancient Christians and was demonize the 1900s as evil. If you get on line and look at some of the histories of the symbols Mormons use as well were symbols originated by Christians I think you would be surprised.

We are not Catholics. One thing I do not do is portray their sacred symbols and mock them or any other religion. If you feel left out because you have no sacred symbols then go and find some. I would not mock them or make fun of them as you have done here. I feel so sad that you find it nesessary to stoop to being so low. It is as if there is no compassion or understanding and little integrity when people do these sorts of things. We are not going to discuss them and you know we can not. It is truly casting our pearls before swine.

I suggest you do the same thing--you might be surprised. The Jews have the 6 pointed star. 2 triangles with 1 point up and one point down. The 5 pointed star has been found as far back as 3500 BC in ancient Mesopotamian pottery. Actually, the 5 pointed star is a pentacle, the real pentagram is a 6 pointed one with a circle round it. And began it's use as a symbol in medieval times for an alchemist and mystics. But that is just one thing---there is also the moonstone, the Saturn stones the sunstones, the hearthstones and the cloud stones. And I do know what the Mormons say those stones represent, which is not the truth.The swastika is no longer a benevolent sign, I do not suggest it be used on any thing. Which is too bad, I kind of like the look of the swastika. It was used by Greeks and American Indians, not a wise thing to use anymore, neither is the pentagram, or pentacle--unless you're Wicca.

There you go again---I have not mocked them---I put pictures upon that came from an ex-Mormon site with her words. And I gave the link to that site. What is the problem?? So they are sacred---that mean people can not know what they look like??? Catholics have their sacred rites, and their sacred priestly garments, there are no problems with the world knowing what they look like---what is your phobia about it?? Are these not accurate??? God is light, He exposes everything, He does not shroud anything in darkness and secrecy. The only thing is one can not see His face but that is for our own safety, for we can not see it and live. There are replicas of all the articles used in the old Jewish Sanctuary so we know what they looked like, these are sacred things, the Jews have a replica of that temple and articles in Jerusalem. What is you problem with all this??? In do not understand at all.

Mormons told us that Christianity was apostate in the 16th century. You are contradicting Mormonism.
