You can be a Mormon and drink coffee, tea, coke and pepsi. You can do it all day every day and no one will bat an eye. The Word of Wisdom is a guide to being healthy. These things are discouraged, not forbidden.

And to Caolin - The body actually reacts negatively to anything hotter than its internal temperature. While these reactions are minimal in most people, for someone with heart issues or a stomach hernia, they can cause palpitations or severe pain. We chew food (which cools it down to internal temp) but hot liquid stays hot. This is why iced tea is better for you than hot tea, for example.

The real reason Mormons dont drink hot tea is because Ninjas drink hot tea, and everyone knows Ninjas are pansies.

"One more time! The Word of Wisdom is an official document of the Mormon Church, part of the canon of scripture to which we pledge adherence when we are baptized. At baptism we make a sacred covenant to obey the commandments of Jesus Christ. The Word of Wisdom was accepted by a general conference of the Church shortly after the Saints moved west, as binding upon the members of the Church. In particular, tobacco, alcohol and “hot drinks” are to be avoided. The Church has defined “hot drinks” as used in the revelation as tea and coffee. Tea is defined as the regular tea that was in use at the time, not teas made from beneficial herbs. Since that is a canon of the Church anyone who does not adhere to those restrictions is in direct violation of the commandments, and normally would not be issued a temple recommend or advanced in the priesthood."


So once again, they can drink caffeine, just not coffee or tea.



Are you a Mormon or just an expert on Mormons?

so iced coffee and tea are fine? goddamn what a stupid belief system.



No, but remember when all this was written up (mid 1800s), there was no such thing as iced coffee- coffee and tea were drunk hot. So iced coffee/tea would still be a no-no.

And, a variation on an old Baptist joke of my youth:

How do you keep a Mormon from drinking all your beer when you go fishing?


Take two of them.

Maybe Mormons are secret Muslims (same number of letters and starts with M and ends with S)

I think I solved some conspiracy theory...?><><?><?

That same joke works for Baptists too.
