So what are they? They are a simple reminder to us of the promises we have made to our Heavenly Father such as following the commandments. If you look at other religions you'll see similar things. Catholics wear a cross for example.
Your post was a bit of a thread killer in my opinion as I was willing to answer any question you had, I guess I wasn't expecting to be mocked. It is easy to mock that which we don't understand. I'm sure if we analyzed your life we could see things that we thought were peculiar. Just because a person or group of people does something that you are not accustomed to does not mean it is wrong (or right for that matter).
Perhaps you have another question for me.

What am I supposed to refer to them as? You want to clear the air about mormonism and then someone asks a question and you tear them a new one. Good way to kill the thread yourself.
I meant no disrespect. I honestly heard that mormons wear magical underpants, in fact I believe I learned it here in this thread so I was trying to clear the air since obviously a lot of us don't know what we're talking about.
Holy sensitive much. You can't say you'll answer anything then get offended at the first question.
I certainly don't find it offensive that you mentioned that Catholics wear crosses.

Oh my god how offensive, how dare you ask such an offensive question. Clearly eddly just wants to answer the friendly ones. No critical or uninformed approaches allowed.
