...black MONDAY?
Erinys:
I am not now, nor have I ever been a member of the LDS (Mormon) church. But I have been intrigued by this uniquely American religious philosophy.
Here's some of what I know about the "garments"
To become a full-fledged LDS a Mormon receives "endowments" in a ceremony at an LDS temple. (not the same as the regular Sunday meeting place). The endowment ceremony is a long story in itself, but one of it's features is the receiving and donning of the "sacred garments".
The garments are similar to boxer shorts and camisole tops ( for women) or T-shirts for men, except they are marked with "sacred signs". There is a masonic compass and square on the left and right breast, and a slit at the knee. The garments were originally full length one-piece "long johns" but have been modernized.
Link to picture of 20th century garments:

The receipient is told that these garments are to be worn at all times, 24/7, next to the skin. (Women will wear bras, girdles etc. over the garments!) and also that the wearing of the garments will protect the faithful LDS from harm. (flames, bullets, dog bites, you name it.)
Mormons have been known to recognize their faithful "brothers and sisters" by checking for garment lines visible under clothing.
Many LDS abide by the belief in the 24/7 wearing of garments. Others (especially outside of Utah) are more lax in this observation.
Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.
