    Appalling. I'm wearing slacks next week in solidarity. And niku better rock a kilt.

While there you notice that Pepsi products are on sale for $3.99 so you throw a couple of cases in the cart.

            I would consider it the same as when Jesus (the perfect example) and his disciples were walking through the corn field on Sunday and were hungry so they picked a few to eat. How could they pass up a deal like that on fresh corn?

            Like Jesus, you were walking through soft drink section and was thirsty so you picked up a few cases at a great deal. Of course, the ruling might come down to if the pepsi products that you picked up has corn sweetener in it (clearly no sin) or if it was diet (maybe no sin).

                    A very smart member of this forum has made a compelling argument that beer is not against the WoW. As long as you get to church once this quarter you should still be on course for baptism.

                        I am glad you mentioned the day with family members. That outweighs the fact you had a few beers.

                        Of course had you gone to church with your family and not had the beers you would have been closer to being translated.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
