    Here is another follow-up question…

    Is there any connection in any way with spirituality and worthiness, and taking substances into the body?

    What do you all think?

    It would probably be a lot healthier for me to switch to coffee, but for some reason I’m still drinking Pepsi.

    Yeah. Daily black coffee by the pot is no good. But surely daily Pepsi by the pack is worse.

    At least in my case it’s daily Pepsi by the can, not by the pack.

    Someone once said that “the difference in a mormon and a jack-mormon is the temperature of their caffeine”. :)

    Since the original WoW deals mostly with dietary issues….do you guys think there would be a bit of an uproar if bishops started jerking TR’s for those members who are overweight?

    As for me, I’ll keep on “following the prophet’s” example regarding this….Joseph Smith, that is.

    I assume you are being a bit sly by saying you follow his “example,” as in how Joseph Smith seemed to practice the WoW. Well … actually not so sly, coming from a fundamentalist view point, that makes a lot of sense. It is more faithful to the original understanding back in the 19th century.

    It’s a hard argument to beat. One would assume that the prophet who penned the revelation from God must have understood what it meant. Bah! actually, I don’t want to devolve the conversation into a historical deconstruction. The WoW, as seen presently in D&C Sec 89, is actually an amalgamation of three different revelations woven together when it was canonized.

    Thanks Brian…I think :)

    I’m just saying that Joseph Smith didn’t seem to be above an occasional glass of wine, a beer, or a cigar. And, as you pointed out…if anyone should know whether we should be living the WoW as a suggestion of moderation, or a commandment to abstain, he should.

    Sorry about the “follow the prophet” comment…I couldn’t resist. :)

    I love it when you comment here Bruce because your perspective is different and interesting. Our community has plenty of room to talk about more than just the SLC/Brighamite branch of Mormonism. My personal practice is more in line with yours than the current Heber J Grant interpretation of the WoW.
