Well, I think that just about sums it up. Fun list.
#18: Why Caffeine-free? The Church revelation spelling out health practices (Doctrine and Covenants 89) does not mention the use of caffeine. The Church’s health guidelines prohibit alcoholic drinks, smoking or chewing of tobacco, and “hot drinks” — taught by Church leaders to refer specifically to tea and coffee.
It isn’t based on doctrine, but on culture. With the Spirit of the Law being health one could say caffeine or even aspartame are in alignment with a healthy life style, but they would not barre someone from a temple recommend as urban myths claim it did in some wards.
aren’t in alignment*
Aw man, I didn’t make the list, but neither did all the requests for Porn so I can’t complain too much.
Thank you Brother Steadman! (That’s “brother” with a hard “R’ sound… as opposed to, “brothah!”) …But I could’ve gone with… Elder Steadman… hm.
Likety like. Brian Regan is hilarious, and no eff words!
I’m a little befuddled as to why “crippling porn addiction” and “going to UVU b/c you weren’t accepted into BYU” weren’t listed.
More appropriate and accurate title would be:
25 Things Utah Mormon Guys Love.
While I can see the self-depricating humor in this post, the fact is that the stereotype portrayed is really that of the Utah born and bred Mormon guy. I say that as a person who has lived a considerable time both in Utah and in the South East U.S.
I am a Utah Mormon guy and I am certainly guilty of Diet Mountain Dew, Stories of my mission, gadgets, and bonfires. The other ones I have successfully avoided.
