Nice! Now for the people who it pains their hearts and makes them angry to see.

Is there anyone who honestly thinks that?

RdF3

Probably the same people who think ALUFs are apostate.

Beer drinkers welcome...Alufs are apostate though.

LDS church members that think that? Umm...yes. Yes there are.

Cool. You keep your opinions on the matter and I'll stick with the scriptures.

It pains me how ignorant LDS people are about the history of the Word of Wisdom.

While I agree it wasn't a commandment initially, it's definitely a commandment

Ulysses14

True but it is painfully selective in punishment. Someone can gorge themselves

Then you aren't comprehending it very well.

YSMACK

Or you aren't expressing what you think you're expressing.

chilango

Good thing many early members of the church aren't here to shame your school.

Graig Swame

This has to be a troll.

RdF3

12/5/16 7:14pm

Why?

ray ray

12/5/16 7:16pm

Why would you care? Should someone who drinks beer not go to church either?

RdF3

12/5/16 7:21pm

Clearly they should hide and drink it in the dark shadows where no one can see,

Polecat

12/5/16 7:28pm

That's a pretty big stretch from what I said

You're right. U only want them to hide in the dark if they're wearing byu gea

Sorry, Greg...it is a commandment

Wrong, sorry. When the church decides to go JW and edit D&C 89, I'll agree,

Not trying to be contentious, but many commandments don't keep you out of temple

Graig Swame

Because the main purpose of a prophet is to testify of Jesus Christ.

The black or white thing in our church is exhausting, not everything has to be dealt with in absolutes.
