Has Technology Trumped Mormon Jesus and Emma's Bitching

Post by _Mormonicious »

As we all know, the Word of Wisdom came about because of Emma's bitching about the nasty tobacco spit everywhere in her home. Thus Mormon Jesus created the perfect "not by commandment" for managing the evil, Section 89 of Horny Holy Joe easy to use manual of Doctored and Coveted rules for controlling the gullible.

Well, what about e-Cigarettes and e-Pipes and their companion e-Cigars. THEY DON'T USE TOBACCO. In fact you can get numerous flavors that are not even closely related to Tobacco.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Mormon Jesus!

Thank Google GOD for her son eBay, you can now have life eternal with laser engraving. . oh, and a seer stone and save 10% of your life's earning as a bonus. See you in Mormon man god Heaven Bitches!!. Bring on the Virgins

Has anyone ever found a use for tobacco in the treating of sick cattle?

Or is that one of Joseph Smith's revelations that the scientific community has yet to discover, and when they do, Mormons everyone will point with glee and shout "How could Joseph have known!?"

The problem with proclaiming that Joseph couldn't have known of the side effects of using tobacco is that it was Emma that perceived the problem in the first place. That would make Emma the Prophet, rather than Joseph.

As far as I am aware, the Church has yet to pronounce (or give guidance to Bishops) wether or not E-Cigs are contrary to the word of wisdom or not.
That said, with the Book of Mormon, we are not dealing with a civilization with no written record. What we are dealing with is a written record with no civilization. (Runtu, Feb 2015)

From the article: "At the same time, scientists in the MPPL were discovering that by introducing a specially modified potato virus to tobacco plants, they could turn the host plant into a "bio-factory" for producing CD14."

So, not only did Joseph Smith foresee that in the distant future tobacco would be used in some way to help treat cattle, he also foresaw genetic engineering! How could Joseph have known!?
