I am amazed at the symbolism (all about us) of the wearing of the necktie. Now, where does that come from?.... It comes from the culture of British/Israelism. The necktie is derived from the cable-tow in masonry and you can see that all of the corporate world and much of religion wears it, including those who are in the highest seats in the synagogue. But, it is similar in symbolism to the apron of the LDS endowment and one ultimately needs to understand that it must be cast off.....

"And there are also secret combinations, even as in times of old, according to the combinations of the devil, for he is the founder of all these things; yea, the founder of murder, and works of darkness; yea, and he LEADETH THEM BY THE NECK WITH A FLAXEN CORD, until he bindeth them with his strong cords forever." (2 Nephi 26:22)

The symbolism is amazing. ;-)
