Mormonism: Are There Any Topics Left to Debate.

After some time reading on various LDS message boards it appears to me that just about every topic has been brought up for debate and argued within an inch of sanity.
So what says the board, are there any topics left to debate, or has every debate come to a conclusion for both sides?
Any topics anyone can think of that don't get the attention they deserve?

Lets talk about the one piece garments.
Did any of the exmos here wear em? HOW SICK IS THAT?
Did you use the poop chute or did you take your shirt off in the bathroom stall so you could pull the Jesus jammie jumpsuit down to your ankles to do your business with the proper mating of bare ass to seat? Oh yeah, don't forget the ass gasket for that sanitary sure fit...(a.k.a. toilet seat cover, free cowboy hat, cafeteria bib..)
That must have sucked, especially in outhouses in the hot summer or dead of cold winter. Oh wait, even worse, popping a quick squat in the woods... oh the mental image of that...
Details!

Perhaps a more objective topic would be "the change of garments over time."

I like PP's questions better.
I wore one-piece until they "invented" two-piece. They bunched up a lot and I had an Eternal Wedgie. Never pulled them down...it would have been a major hassle.
With the cotton ones, the legs crawled up over time until they were bunched up at the top. Overall, I didn't like them and was elated when they came out with two-piece (although they weren't a huge improvement).
Oh, yeah...and when I wore them with the one-piece flight suits they WERE a hassle in the woods. I had to drop my flight suit, drop my garments -- pretty much undress to use the latrine. Very annoying!

I'm embarrassed to say that I, also, wore the one-piece atrocity they call garments. Never pulled them down. Used the hole in the back. Got my first pair in 1977.
My landlord in England while on my mission used to wash them for my companion and me and hung them out on the line to dry each time after washing (he did the laundry as part of the rent) in his backyard. Don't know if we were supposed to do that, but we let him do it. It was quite a site with those one-piecers blowing in the breeze. I'm sure the neighbors got a kick out of it.
I have a good picture of myself sitting on the toilet, while passing off my discussions with my trainer, one-piecers in full view. I'll try to get that scanned and post it here. It's a classic.
I think every good Mormon should have had to wear those things at least once to understand real Mormonism. LOL

The Great Garment Mocking Curse
The story circulated in my mission that the missionaries dropped their clothes off at a laundry that did their wash for them and when they came back a pair of one-piecers were hanging in the widow with a sign "Mormon Garments!" on them.
Within a week the laundry had burned down killing the owner and workers.
Ah. MormonStories are good, huh!

ROFL
I for one vote for an annihilation of one piece garments. My mom kept asking me why there was a slit in the back of my drawers that she could see above my waistline, LOL.
Well at least they're not ankle/wrist length anymore.

Luckily no one was nearby with a camera, you'd have been under blackmail for quite some time...
Yeah, the whole undressing to pee thing sucked.
The day I went out and bought drawers again was such a liberating day. Actually, that was what marked my true exodus, the removal of the garments.

Although there have been many topics turned over and over the individuals discussing them are what matters to me.
I would say that there are occasionally new insigts raised and also new intricacies to existing topics.

Vegas, I think that's what keeps me coming back. Sure, the issues don't change, and some of them don't because the church won't change. But being there for someone who is new to the whole situation, or wanting out, that matters more to me than going over old stuff.
