Care for some Caffeine?

[smokymountainrain]

Not to mention that you can actually make a decent "legislative intent" type argument against caffeine, based on the direction of the revision from the original statement.

Ooh, good point. Boo the revision!

I'm just going to quote it as "according to a press release from August 29, 2012."

Me too. I refuse to let my campaign be dictated by fact checkers.

My wife can't break away from her Central American roots and needs her coffee fix a couple of times a week. She always tells them during her TR interviews and they always sign it. It may be one of those rules where middle management knows it doesn't make sense but upper management holds on to it because that's the way it's been for a 100 years.

It's hilarious that the revision was made to a news release titled "Getting it Right"! It should be revised to "Getting it Right...Eventually"

Speaking of Central American roots, I have a daughter-in-law who is further south and has South American roots. Peru to be specific.

She is a wonderful DIL, wife and mother, although quite fiery. She and her family were converted when she was a teenager, but went inactive while here in the good ole USA.

Her roots also have a need for coffee, but also no sense of guilt in wearing a short skirt or heaven forbid a Bikini. She took some heat from some sisters in the ward and hasn't been to church since.

Is she odd or is the South American culture not so hung up on bare belly's?

I guess the church won't be publishing any more articles like these:

Mixed messages. Shocking.

Exactly. The new version is so wishy washy as to be practically meaningless.

I think it still does the job. This is all that mattered, and it's still there:

Finally, another small correction: Despite what was reported, the Church does not prohibit the use of caffeine.

I am of the opinion that it is the temperature of the caffeine that is the deal breaker. Caffeine served cold is fine. Caffeine served hot is not. Who the heck wants to drink hot tea in Texas anyway?

Indeed. And can we blame the public for being confused when our own messages are so mixed?

And further, the correction says "despite what was reported" as though NBC made the error. It was hardcore Mormon mom that made the statement.

Crap. Well, I'll just have to take solace in the fact that they bothered to correct hardcore Mo Mom at all.

Too bad the church doesn't agree with you, since cold tea can still get you in hot water.
