Apparently you have not grown up Mormon. Trust me, I know from personal experience that Mormons think coffee is bad because it breaks a commandment, leads to serious addictions, and pollutes the temple (your body).

Here is another. To a Mormon, Drinking coffee is worse than gossiping and hurting someone's feelings to get personal gain.

If you were ever a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you would know that there is no such thing as "a Mormon." We are called Latter-day Saints, or members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

A few days ago I read, yet another, article on the benefits of coffee. I thought of the people in the world who think that coffee is of the Devil. I was one of those people in a former life.

I then had a Wade Englundesque epiphany. It's just a sign of your indoctrination. If you believe that coffee is evil because God said so, you have been indoctrinated.

If you look in your underwear drawer and you find it full of weird stuff, (and it's not stuff for special naughty occasions) it's another good sign you have been indoctrinated.

This epiphany came with visions and special feelings. I'm not sure if they were visions or dreams or reality. I just know they came from God.

You may be experiencing lots of other signs of indoctrination.

Some facts might include:

• First, “Mormon” is a nickname for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Members are often referred to as “Mormons,” “Latter-day Saints,” or “LDS.” The term “Saint” means “member.”

• And fifth, Mormons are well represented in politics and government. (In the United States, for example, there are 16 members in Congress, from both political parties.) Members also serve in high and trusted positions throughout the world in business, medicine, law, education, media, sports, and entertainment.

Mormons place particularly strong emphasis on family as the basic unit of the Church and of society.

Fruits:

A church, or any way of life, should be judged by the fruits or the results that it generates. Here are a few examples based on United States statistics. But these would be similar throughout the world among practicing Mormons.

• One of the fruits is a longer life. Studies show that practicing Mormons are healthier and therefore live longer than the national average. In 1833 the Lord revealed to Joseph Smith the Word of Wisdom, which is the way to live in order to enjoy a long and healthy life.
