Be yourself and keep your home as your home. It's your home and you are who you are.

Your parents chose Mormonism and chose to stick with it. This means they get to deal with all the disappointment in life that are the result of being in the cult. Don't protect them from having their fair share of the disappointment of life that they elected to partake in because of the commandment of their cult. They will be disappointed in you and judge you for breaking the commandments. That's all part of being a cult member and finding fault with others.

Enjoy the coffee right in front of them. That is the way it should be and it's perfectly natural.

Parents obviously failed at getting zee trained up right at 8 years old

25 And again, inasmuch as parents have children in Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized, that teach them not to understand the doctrine of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, when eight years old, the sin be upon the heads of the parents.

Drinking coffee only dishonor's someone who has cult like thinking. When someone is easily offended, it is the person who gets offended that has the problem. Times that by 82 trillion when someone is offended by something as innocous as coffee and tea.

Let your parents grow up Zee and enter the big boy world. If they want to suffer miserably on an imaginary cross to hang and be crucified for an imaginary God that doesn't require any such thing, let them. Live your life with joy.

I agree. Zee's parents have ruined poor Zee's salvation and because of their inability to train him up right he's lounging about the house as a coffeebibber and breaking all kinds of commandments. Zee should feel guilty for hurting his parents feelings and for opting for the telestial kingdom as his reward.

For shame.

My parents are coming for thanksgiving and I'm nervous about the coffee and tea. Should I put it away or let it show in a blaze of glory?


Grow a pair and see if you can go a few hours without succumbing to the addiction. If you really want to be a man, many addictions are well on the way of being overcome if you can last a month.

This is a perfect example of the weird attitude among some Mormons that any use at all of tea, coffee, alcohol, or tobacco means a person is an "addict." So silly.

A very bizarre post - on a very bizarre thread - involving a very bizarre religion!

Bizarre!
