My grandma used to invite them in and have coffee with them and jehova's witnesses.

She figured she was wasting their time so they couldn't bother other people and she could spend an hour or two bragging about her grandchildren and showing picture.

Incorrect- but they don't drink coffee or tea. Other caffeinated beverages are often consumed. There are some who won't drink anything with caffeine in it but as far as "the rules" goes, it's only caffeine and tea which are no-nos.

lol

The only drinks besides alcohol that Mormons are not supposed to drink are coffee and tea.

Anything else with caffeine is fine (sodas, energy drinks, etc), but some Mormons voluntarily avoid anything with caffeine in it at all.

Make sense?

Any kind of stimulant or substance that could lead to addiction is bad to them. So no caffeine at all, not just coffee / tea. They just haven't bothered to update the Official Book of Stupendeousness since '72 about it.

"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.

This I do not know. It's obvious of course about the alcohol and tobacco, but for the rest there is some debate- some say it is the caffeine, some say it is something else, some say it is because the drinks themselves are hot (but hot cocoa and cider and milk would be ok), but from church leadership nothing official apart from "don't drink coffee and tea". At least as far as I'm aware!

edit: and achim is correct about the clarification on teas, as well.

It's not just that they are hot but that they are from plants "not designed" by God for human consumption. You drink those "chemicals" from coffee or tea and your body feels different from how God intended.

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.

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.
