I have studied various Christian religions and have liked the teachings of the Mormons (They currently prefer to be called “members of the restored church of Jesus christ”).
I generally try to abide by 3 Ne 11:29-30. I think my favorite scripture is 1 Ne 11:17 as it answers substantially all questions with faith and humility until you have time to properly study it out.
I am prone to talk about what I believe in a manner that I think gives respect all around like the epicurian paradox, the nicene creed, polygamy and judaism, etc.
I feel like I have a few strengths that I would love to share with those curious: my method to pray in a two-way conversation, my affinity for administration, and the “hiding in plain sight” cheats to be in control during persecution, dreams, and restrictive behavioral loops.

The undergarment is what a mormon wears after the 2 temple ceremonies that are to give them extra power and protection. It is kinda like a clerics robes, but not shouting to everyone at every time. The first designs had turtle necks and long sleeves. The “important” part of them are the symbolic parts which are not at the sleeves, so generally this is part of the general movement of mormon church policy away from “we made these policy rules black and white so it is easier for you to measure personal commitment”. The church recently likes to go by “the restored church of Jesus christ” as a nickname instead of mormon. Additionally, with the opening of “Grey areas”, the lines between doctrine, temporary policy, and sometimes cult like culture are easier to see. According to the People I talk to, this is a non issue.
