It also bans tobacco. No, you do not have to refrain from Cola or Pepsi. My hubby just downed 2 liters of Mountain Dew today.

Right I know it bans tea and coffee and alcohol and so on what else does it ban. Do you have to refrain from Cola and pepsi and stuff aswell ?

It also bands drugs (which is kind of a no brainer).

Cola and pepsi isn't really the drink, its more whats in the drink. Some feel that caffiene is a drug, others don't. To me its a matter if you are depent on it, then that would group it more into a drug.

Ok cool I have a baptism date set for 12th of december and I am making sure I do things right. It's like if I was to go out with friends socialising I was thinking what kind of drinks I could have as obvioulsy no alcohol.

I'm not really dependant on caffine as I have been cutting it out anyway. But if I was to have say de-caffinated then it would defantly be ok to drink.

Was that a question?

If you are talking about Soda-Pop then yes. If you are talking about Coffee then no. Coffee is on the word of wisdome because God put it there.

Keep in mind that decaf is not the same as caffeine free. From what I've read and I'm trying to find a source..is that companies can leave 3-5% of caffeine in their coffee to be considered decaffeinated. So unless you are drinking caffeine free, you are still getting the caffeine.

Oh sorry that is a question. I was on-about soda-pop yes. I know coffee is forbidden even if it's decaff so I know to stay away :).

Thank-You for your help :).

The Word of Wisdom doesn't "ban" anything. It's wisdom. It says "here's some smart ways to treat your body, you would be wise to follow this council".

If you want to know what it says and doesn't say, probably the best thing to do is to read it.
