On Sunday we were talking about the word of wisdom. I said people who are fat,

That's because what you said is false.

In the sense that the coffee drinkers are better off?

All of it is between you and the Lord. This is purely a perspective.

But healthy and unhealthy are also black and white.

Coffee, at least, is healthier than being fat and guzzling soda.

being fat is against the WofW but it won't keep you out of the temple.

Could you site your source for this claim?

Lolo

May 15, 4:38pm

it's in the D&C. Talks about taking care of our bodies and health. Fat

That's really reaching

well obey the WofW in your 20's and 30's and don't get fat. 60+ can lose wt.

I would think the 5% of Americans that fall into the hypothyroid camp should definitely be excused.

Really, they clearly aren’t following the WoW or they wouldn’t have it.

Lolo

my wife has hypothyroid. She maybe has a couple extra lbs on her.

qwerew

Better not go to the temple then. I mean who is to say what fat is?

Lolo

who claimed fat people shouldn't go to the temple?

“Do you understand and obey the WoW?”

Here you go:

Go back and look at pictures of GAs in the late 1800s.

Fatness sometimes is a sin. It should not keep you out of the temple.

I'm only interested in the opinions of compotent medical providers.

I hope being able to correctly spell the word competent doesn't disqualify them.

A competent medical professional can tell you if you are obeying a commandment?

You're not likely to get an answer on this one.

This is such a simple answer. Lot's of people don't like the answer.

Lance71

May 15, 7:14pm

This is the only answer that is not debatable.

Calicoug75

May 15, 8:37pm

I don’t know why coffee is included in the WoW. I abstain from it as an act of faith.

cheezedawg

Yeah but that's semantics. It says no liquor but beer isn't considered a strong

EDthoracotomy

Because you are wrong.

CopperLix

Not even close.

EDthoracotomy

I know what you’re saying. The key to the WoW is treating our bodies

sparky

May 15, 4:23pm

The WoW is about obedience not health.

Lolo

May 15, 4:25pm

It’s about both.

cheezedawg

May 15, 4:27pm

If it was about health it is wrong and severely limited in its scope.

Lolo

May 15, 4:36pm

Take it to the religion category for attacks against prophetic counsel

Plato

May 15, 4:43pm

What are you talking about? I am not against the WoW or prophetic

Lolo

May 15, 5:07pm

You claim that the health code given in DnC 89 is "wrong."

Plato

No I claim that DC 89 isn’t a health code.

Oh, in that case

It is easy to claim it to be a health code. The first 4 verse explain why it was

This is the answer of last resort.

May 15, 6:57pm

It's about things we should and things we should not do AS WELL as obedience.

EDthoracotomy

May 15, 7:17pm

Remember when the Lord said "more or less than this cometh of evil"

2FarGone

May 15, 4:37pm

You mean you’re being obedient to a law as it’s currently given. What a concept.

Moderation in all things isn’t that a part of WofW

JamieTartt

they clearly don't understand the WofW.

qwerew

May 15, 4:35pm

One thing sillier then the WoW itself, is arguing about it in church.

RIGAMORTIS

May 15, 4:41pm

well the arguing about in church part is correct.

that's because it's easy to skip a beer but not easy to skip the potato chips.
