warnerfranklin Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 The only thing I miss since becoming LDS is a nice hot cup of tea with lemon on a cold winter day. And don’t suggest herbal tea. That stuff taste like someone mowed their lawn and then bagged the clippings. 😉 zil and Maureen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali where we are currently enduring our 3rd week of straight 100's. I like iced peppermint tea, iced country peach passion, and iced berry zinger. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. warnerfranklin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curan Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Spirit of the law or letter of the law? Tea is tea. I drink herbal tea but I don't believe the WoW differentiates between herbal and other teas. What about non-alcoholic beer or Flavored drink mixes?

I've drank NA beer, and alcohol free wine. Flavored drink mixes too. I don't feel like any of those are a violation of my covenants. I don't feel like it's even pushing any sort of gray area imho.

mrmarklin Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 WOW needs an update. The coffee and tea thing needs to go away. Totally obsolete. There are a lot of recent studies extolling the virtues of coffee and even Consumer Reports expounded on its benefits recently. Tea has also been found to be beneficial Kind of like the reasons for keeping Kosher are no longer valid, we need a new revelation IMNSHO.

zil Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 How the heck does a joke about a tea-named ink morph into "You're making light of the WoW.", "Which loopholes to the WoW are OK?", and "God's revelations are outdated."? Sigh. Fortunately, I only have about .5mL left of this ink, so the clock is ticking on tea jokes. I'll have to rate the remainder of my ink names for joke-safeness.

There is a difficult lesson here - The internet is not like talking to other people gathered by other means. On the internet - being yourself is not really being yourself. Perhaps this may help you understand our general authorities a little better and why they must constituently be guarded - not just in what they say but how they present themselves. And so it is that we get this very watered down version and carefully guarded words and actions from our brothers and sisters that serve in what the world sees as prestigious calling. Perhaps you can also gain a little more insight into supporting and sustaining those that are called to serve - especially when something they say or do takes a unexpected turn. I would like to tell you that I understand this principle very well and can be a great example to you in my own posts - but you and I both know better - even though I am acutely aware I constantly leak my particular personality and uniqueness in almost every post. Then I am often domed founded where it all goes from there. In this thread - what is sad is that very few understand that the Word of Wisdom is a covenant and not really a law - even though it specifically states so. The associated law, to the world, is not so logical and appears to be unassociated. This sort of goes back to something Jesus said - which was something like, "If you will do what I ask; you will know if what I ask of you comes from G-d or man." Obviously there are those that judge the Word of Wisdom without having ever made or tried to understand the spirit of its covenant.

I loved the old co-ed jokes like: Do you know the difference between a co-ed and a garbage can? Answer: A garbage can gets taken out once a week. If my wife finds out I posted this joke I will be sleeping on the sofa tonight. I know it seems extreme but what is humorous to one can be hate speech to another.
