Don't get me wrong, I commend you in thinking for yourself on the matter of alcohol and coffee, but you don't feel guilt in your Temple Interviews when they ask if you are keeping the Word of Wisdom? Do you lie to your Stake President?
I simply tell him that I am keeping the Word of Wisdom, for I believe that I am. I don't consider it a lie, and I still feel right with God when I enjoy a beer with a few friends.
BTW, Temple Recommends are given by the Ward Bishop, not the Stake President. You've been gone some time now, haven't you? I bet Hinckley was still President when you left.
I have no idea what you two guys are talking about.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
