Woooo... I'm so bad...

[_silentkid]

...went to a restaurant and (gasp) I had TWO beers...

I hope those two beers weren't Coors Light or you have really sinned. ;)

That's for damn sure.

I think you have a point...

The WoW says to eat meat sparingly, in times of famon and in winter months... which now means, "ignore this part."

Verse 13 originally didn't have a comma.

And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.

Changes things a bit, eh?

Also, the meaning of "sparingly" has changed a bit over the last handful of decades (Webster's 1828 dictionary had the most common definition as "not abundantly/exclusively" Not exactly the same as how we now tend to define it as "rarely."

The WoW says no hot drinks... which now means something like, "drink whatever hot drinks you want except coffee, tea is now fine if it is caffeine free, but decaf coffee is still not acceptable, cold drinks with caffiene are fine."

The coffee/tea definition for "hot drinks" was established shortly after the revelation was given by both Joseph and Hyrum.

I'm thinking the WoW can mean whatever one wants it to mean... like every other teaching/doctrine/practice/belief of the church... so long as you still believe you are good to go! :-)

"...the Church cannot change the laws of God. They stand immutable. We may change the rules; we may say that a drunkard... [or] he who drinks tea and coffee may go into the temple. These rules we may change. But we cannot change the biological law that he who uses narcotics must pay the penalty somehow, somewhere, sometime...."

-Ruben J. Clark (as cited in the Autumn 1981 issue of Dialogue -- a must read for anyone who actually wants to understand the WoW and how it became a "commandment.")

So, my wife and I finally got to have a date this weekend. We even got free babysitting (woohoo!!!!). Sue and I first went bowling (on SUNDAY@#!#@!#@!) and then went to a restaurant and (gasp) I had TWO beers@##@!#@! Heaven help the fool.

Now, to my ex and non Mormon friends, this does not mean I am going to leave the church. This means that I wanted a beer or two tonight, and so I did, and as I read the Words of Wisdom, that is okay. Anyhow, hehehehe... I'm so bad (NOT!!!)

What do you plan to say when your bishop asks if you live the WoW, in your next TRI?

I am going to discuss the WoW with him, explain that occasionally I drink beer, and then turn in my temple recommend, probably, unless he agrees with my understanding of the WoW. I am not one to deceive nor lie.

After leaving the restaurant, I realized that they had a microbrew I had been wanting to try for sometime, but no... They were not fine beers. One Budweiser in a bottle and one Miller Lite Draft (in memory of my father who thought it was the best beer on Earth).

Soft barley drinks are fine, but the watchers of the Samuel Adams commercials know the devil is in the hops unless you add a whole pound of them.




by the way, being non-union, Coors is allowed to filter their beer through asbestos.

I'm thinking it's more like they filter it through used urinal cakes.

EWWWW! NOT a good visual!

Coors, asbestos, or urinal cakes? (I'm not sure they're all that different).

They may be allowed, but do they do it? I've never heard of such a thing.
