Mormon Priesthood Must Wear White Shirt and Ties? - Page 10
QUOTE To be worthy to pass it, and to always wear a white shirt, go hand in hand.
I think I respectfully disagree with that. Worthiness should not be taught hand in hand with a piece of clothing. It should be THE point to teach and the choice of a white shirt as a secondary issue.

That is what we teach with Baptism, and with the Temple! Thats the reason why clothing is part of it. It is to show we are worthy, that we are clean. (This is the same lesson that can apply to a deacon, or anybody in the Aaronic Priesthood)
As Elder Oaks brought up in the last General Conference.
QUOTE Elder Jeffrey R. Holland gave a valuable teaching on this subject in general conference 13 years ago. Since most of our current deacons were not even born when these words were last spoken here, I repeat them for their benefit and that of their parents and teachers: May I suggest that wherever possible a white shirt be worn by the deacons, teachers, and priests who handle the sacrament. For sacred ordinances in the Church we often use ceremonial clothing, and a white shirt could be seen as a gentle reminder of the white clothing you wore in the baptismal font and an anticipation of the white shirt you will soon wear into the temple and onto your missions (This Do in Remembrance of Me, Ensign, Nov. 1995, 68).

Happy, then do you also believe its not important to wear white in the temple? It really depends on the bishops preference more than anything else. I've been in wards where it was ok to wear a different colored shirt to pass sacrament, and I've been in wards where all men were expected to wear white shirts regardless if they were passing or not. I think it shows a measure of obedience if you are expected to wear a white shirt and you obey that counsel.
