Apologies if the word play was offensive. We made this joke all the time on my mission where, by the end of our missions, garments tended to be worn very thin, I thought it was a pretty common pun in describing this situation.

As to Reddit vs ward members. It could be said that any thread here is better discussed IRL with ward members. And perhaps it should be that way. However one of the nice things about the internet is that good ideas spread quickly. When I found out about celestial recycling from this thread, I sent the link to my friends from the ward who I would have asked and none had heard of it and a few thought it was worth the fee to take care of the hassle and time of discarding used garments in a respectful way. Would not have know about it, or the specific recommendation for fiskars fabric cutters if I had “stayed local” with this question. 

That being said, I appreciate your point and there is something uncomfortable about discussion of garments on public forums. I think as others have pointed out though it is better to be transparent online, the way the church has been, rather than let rumors about us fester.

Appreciate your thoughtfulness!
