Reply #35: Take a guess who owned the Coca-Cola Company [View All]

The Jehovah's Witnesses still ban stimulants in all forms; Jehovah is supposed to be all the stimulation you need.

For at least a while--they still might, but I doubt it--the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints owned the Coca-Cola Company. When they bought it, an edict came down from Salt Lake City that a number of prominent Mormon health professionals and bishops had conducted an enclave that determined caffeinated beverages, if taken in moderation, would not defile the holy temple that is the human body.

Now Mormons can drink cokes, just not gallons and gallons of them in one sitting. Coffee is okay too.

Rum in the coca-cola, however, still defiles the holy temple.
