And so if you just put on yoga pants, it's like, well, I'm about to go to the gym.

And so you don't ever wear them because you're just in workout clothes all day.

So there was something that came out where the higher council was telling the bishops, hey, guys, if they're not wearing their garments and they're doing the yoga pants, then you can't give them a temple recommend.

which is a really big deal in Mormonism, because if you can't go to the temple, that means you're not going to be able to go to the highest level of heaven if you're not consistently going and doing the endowments for the dead and all of that.

So, yeah, it's a harsh punishment when you can't go to the temple.

Wow.

I never made it because I wasn't worthy enough.

So I was in until I was like 21.

I left when I was 21.

And I didn't go because there's a couple ways you can get your garments.

The first way is if you go on a mission.

So they lowered the age to where you can go, I think, when you're 19 as a girl before it was 21 because they wanted you to get married instead of going on missions.

Now you can go when you're younger.

And if you go on a mission, then you go to the temple, take out your endowments, and get your garments.

The other way is if you get married.

So I didn't go on a mission and I didn't get married.

So I never went to the temple.

Some women, if they don't do either of those and they're later in age, like in their 30s, they can ask for special permission to go in solo and get your endowments out.

So I just didn't make it to those milestones.

And I'm glad I did it because I would have hated it.
