I'd been through a military physical multiple times by that point, so that was nothing for me. I could see it being more disconcerting if I was younger.

I took out my endowments in the Jordan River Temple. When I got on the escalator going up and saw people in their temple robes coming down, I just about screamed:


Waahhhhh! There is NO WAY you are getting me in that get up!

Well, I'm here to tell you. They got me in that get up.

Still think it looks ridiculous.

^^This!! My dad was my escort, and we were standing in the dressing room waiting for me to go through initiatory, and my uncle comes up and tells my dad, "they just pulled a fresh batch of cookies out in the cafeteria!" Dad turns to me and says, "be right back!" and takes off with my uncle. Evidently the Washington D.C. temple had really good baked goods in the cafeteria then. So I'm standing there by myself and this little old guy with a gravelly voice walks up and says, "put this on (shield) and make sure you're naked underneath!" I had no idea what an initiatory even was and I'm like WTF?!?! All I could think of during the initiatory (Dad was still gone getting cookies) was the question "WTH all are they going to touch? I mean they're blessing all my parts, are they going to bless THAT part too?!?" I was still in shock when it came time for the temple clothes... I didn't care what they looked like, I was just glad to have some on!
This ++!

I was freaked the hell out after the initiatory, then all those strange clothes, then the disemboweling, then the throat slit then the cultist chanting of pay lay ale! I certainly was not expecting the Spanish Inquisition!

I was just thinking about this and I remembered something funny when I was endowed.

My best friend told me before I went through the temple to "duck when the monkey comes out with a hammer". I knew he was joking and we both laughed. Later in the conversation he said something like (paraphrasing): "Seriously though, don't laugh when the men put on their hats".
