This woman who had to "forsake" coffee in order to get baptized. Geez the Mormons will do anything to demonize coffee. Anyone else would say just say, "give it up, or "quit drinking it."
But no, Mormons have to FoooorrrrrrssaaaaKe the evil brew. Sounds so important and holy and righteous when you put it that way.
The Mormon word games are so stupid.
When I was a kid all the Mormons did the "Mormon Flip" with the coffee cups at restaurants. It's a much better way to fight evil than simply saying, "No Thank You."

Indeed. But of course, they love everyone and are the most compassionate people.
Except when they are not.
They tend to be professionals at making mountains out of molehills and while justifying such idiocy as the sacrifice of obedience.
I questioned the word of wisdom 50 years ago. Turns out coffee is good for my colon and beer and wine in moderation provide health benefits. One TBM who gave me shit about my sinnin' ways back then saying I wasn't gonna make it to 35, died a couple years ago at 65. I'm gonna be 69 in July.

Antioxidants in coffee are reliably found to protect against brain disorders such as dementia and alz.
No guarantees, of course, but still, perks (pun intended).
