This Week in Mormonism – June 27th 2008

Jun 27, 2008 in TWiM

I wonder why this hardly ever comes up in conversation. Once during Elders Quorum a Brother asked about a Temple in Jackson County. Another Brother stated.

We don’t own the land.

And there is already a Temple there. It’s the Community of Christ’s Temple.

Awhile back the missionaries and I were teaching a man about the Word of Wisdom. The missionaries explained D & C 89 to him and soon after they asked him:

Will you strive to follow and live the Word of Wisdom?

I can remember the first time I was asked this question (11 years ago). My reaction was:

Well, I don’t smoke and I do drink a bit but what is it about coffee and tea?

I was given many different answers throughout the years about coffee and tea which include:

  • It’s the caffeine that’s bad for you.
  • It’s the tannic acid that’s in the hot drinks.
  • Or it’s any tea derived from a leaf that is not good for the body.

But I was never told the restrictions are the least of Section 89 of the D & C.

Today I found this link titled: The Word of Wisdom: the Forgotten Verses. When we are told what not to do and what to do is left out of the discussions, the concept in totality are lost by way of omission or I am totally incorrect. You be the judge.

This one really makes me scratch my head. Because I thought the Book of Doctrine an Covenants contains the Precepts and The Book of Mormon contains the Stories. If this makes anyone else scratch their heads please comment.

One of the reasons my wife left the church years ago was because she became displeased with some Members of the church. I have found most people seem like quality people. While others seem to have a superior attitude. Of Gods chosen people. They treat others as outskirts of society. The ones who falls outside of the Mormon Image. They are ostracized, alienated and even ignored (I’ve been ignored. It sucks). I just think about how Jesus would treat the ones on the outskirts of society. (Didn’t he hang out them?)
