A nice change for the temple veil

[Guest]

This kind of veil would be much nicer. It kind of makes the patron look animal, bringing her back to our roots. It also removes the look of marriage, which I feel is out of place in the endowment ceremony. Why have the women re-enact marriage every single time they go to the temple and the men just sit there like bumps on the log? It's like we are acting out a very poor situation of the wife doing the work and the men watching football.

And the men? Cool top hats! When it comes time for the women to "veil their faces", the men can stand up and tip their debonnaire top hats. That would be really cool. God, are you listening?

As they tipped their hats they could look for stuff in a rock in the bottom of the hat. Perhaps fewer men would fall asleep if there were something fun like that to do.

I support these changes. Let's make it happen!

Sitting here in the airport... might as well talk to myself some more...

you know, I'm torn.

While I sort of like the idea of everyone being the same, I'm sad temple material is devoid of imagination.

It's sort of nice (I guess) that Mitt Romney can look exactly the same as the poorest guy in the west side of Salt Lake County while in the temple. I mean, Carl Marx would agree as well. I can see the benefit of instituting communism inside the temple in anticipation of the Coming of the Savior. At least this will help reduce the shock when He begins to reign with infinite power.

But on the flip side, we all need a little chance to shine. The temple should give us that chance, shouldn't it? Shouldn't we be allowed to design our own temple outfits? I imagine that if the restrictions were lifted, stores would begin popping up all over town, selling various styles of veils and hats. It would be big business and the poorer patrons would be left looking out of style.

Communism inside the temple is the best, I guess. Sort of sad but I can't see a way around it.

This already happens. Haven't you noticed that some of the dresses are fairly elaborate with lace and pleats, while some are quite plain... and some of the men wear white suits while the others wear white jumpsuits?

There is a heirarchy, even in the temple.

Or suit bag. I mean... seriously? A suit bag? Heaven forbid you have a wrinkle.

On the first few occasions I went as a youth I just thought they'd all been bowling.

I'm now starting to doubt all my ideas about a temple style revolution. Does freedom of style have a place in the temple? Must Communistic Style dominate? Must it?

Can we afford to allow Democratic Style in the temple?
