Kinda sounds an awful lot like one of those "stunning insights into the workings of the mind of God people pick up hanging around the water cooler" you were speaking of derogatively in the other thread. Seriously whack!

If you read it it says that it's a measure instituted due to conditions in this time period and gives an idea of what those are. A simple reading of the Bible will convince someone that this is not a universal law through all dispensations. This isn't rocket science.
In Section 89? Not seein' it there. But I recall the last sentence before the Word of Wisdom section mentions one must drink wine before wershin' the toe jam from the feet ritual.
The Lot family had a pretty good idea of emergency rations - at least enough wine to keep Dad turpsed for 2 days!
Isn't it wonderful - a man can drink enough to not recognise he is getting it on with his own daughters (thus absolving himself of any respnsibility), but is still able to get it up!
