How is determining that 1) a frappuccino is not a hot drink (it's a cold drink) and that 2) the D&C says nothing about "coffee" not "having a different interpretation"?

He's not my SP (like I said, I work with the guy), but why wouldn't he remain a SP? Go back and read UtahDan's posts on page 4 of this thread.

Personally, I hope the WOW is eventually reverted back to its former status as 'good advice from your Heavenly Father.' I think there is nothing about drinking coffee that should disqualify a person from serving honorably in leadership positions in the church, but we aren't there yet, and anyone that pretends otherwise is willfully misinterpreting the words of the living prophets.
Boy, you are all over the map on this one. Remember this post?
