The reference to coffee should be referenced to show it happened before the Word of Wisdom was reviled

Well, that's basically what I said. Joe Smith was drinkin' coffee. He thought Emma was tryin' to poison' him. And the way to get Emma to stop makin' miserable coffee was to make the rest of Mormons miserable in the mornin, too...and just outlaw it for everyone.

What I don't understand is that if Joe kept a good reason to have hard liquor on hand (for bathing)...
...and a good reason to keep tobacca on hand (for bruises & sick cattle)...
...why didn't he come up with a reason to keep coffee around?

BTW, do you take hard-liquor baths like a good D&C89:7-8 Word of Wisdom morning. Or are you a cafeteria Mormon when it comes to the Word of Wisdom?

Do you use tobacco for bruises? Or are you a cafeteria Mormon when it comes to the Word of Wisdom?

“Do you use tobacco for bruises?”

A couple of times I road my bike up the backside of a bee.
Only time I was glade there was another biker that smoked.
