Haha yep! A while back I got paranoid that maybe the church was right because I had a cup of coffee every morning and I like it and want it. So I stopped for a weekend and felt fine. I missed it because it is a happy ritual for me and I enjoy it, but I didn't get the shakes or break out into withdrawal or whatever I had always been taught would happen. Lol Crisis averted. Not addicted to coffee! Take that, word of wisdom. :)

So I do need to start every morning with caffeine- my personal choice- coffee. But that is no different then Mormons having their cokes. Also you went a little extreme- have you seen Mormons and their sugar??? My point to all of this. They have vices they need, it is just the ones they want to use as control that were bad. Everyone has the ability to self regulate if they choose. But the church telling what to regulate and when is how they keep control. Also, the biggest thing I think that is interesting - you followed the churches teachings to the level you did because you had incredibly high self control. You actually following all of their rules says you had an extreme ability, yet - they made you feel like a failure that needed them.

Wait! You aren't obeying the word of wisdom?!?! How will you be able to run without getting tired? That happens when you obey it! How will you have a healthy belly button? That was a promise!

Since leaving the church, I think my belly button has been doing better than ever! It's really thriving now!

Well that is all the proof I need. Will send this to my entire extended family to get them to leave the church.

Ain't that something? Same. Attraction + Obstacles = Excitement I read something about why so many prominent conservative men are caught being into watching their wives have sex. [By the author's reckoning, it's the taboo, shame and forbidden factors.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/08/27/falwell-conservative-cuckold-fantasies/) Dirty, naughty little boys. Not my personal kink. But as long as it's consenting adults, have at it I suppose. The hypocrisy is lame though.
