I have no sense of humor. Too hot.

In Helaman 6:39, we see the Badmintons, so similar to Skousenite Mormons, taking over the government and abusing the rights of many.

I guess it they wanted to commit suicide. Everyone knows of the super natural protective properties of the garmmies, thus taking them off was suicide, right?

God advised them to because God wanted them dead. They had gone too far down the path with Satan and had to be neutralized. :wink:

With their "spiritual eyes" they saw that two-piecers were on the way. Timing was a little off.

They only had one pair and they were dirty and they didn't think they would be in jail long? I think it has been said that Richards wore his, so it was probably not an order by Joseph to remove them.

Who knows? crap happens. :eek:

All kinds of theories have been put out there about why, but like with many other things, we will probably never know.

I can only add, that they remember when their mothers told them, "Change your underwear you never know when you might be in an accident!"
