THE WORD OF WISDOM-IS IT A MORMON DEGREE OR SCIENTIFIC PROOF

 In 1833, Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith is said to have received a Divine Revelation about the evils of consuming strong drinks; coffee; tea; chewing and smoking tobacco. There are some writings to say that the revelation came a day after the wife of Joseph Smith complained about cleaning up the School of Prophets, where Latter day leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ gathered to discuss the organization of the restored Church. I guess if it was me to have to clean up such a place, it would be no different than a cowboy bar of yesteryear cleaning up a Spittoon. Then another story reported that in his own writing, Joseph admitted consuming wine at a wedding and at various occasions for ten years after the Word of Wisdom decree. Then again, Porter Rockwell was a trusted bodyguard to both Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, and Porter  had a continual hankering for Aunt Emma's Medicinal compound. In fact, after Brigham Young was leaving the Santa Clara home he had, his wagon driver was Porter Rockwell, who had been tipping the bottle quite heavy the night before, and Brother Brigham said something similar to "Porter, it doesn't look good for you to be drunk after me giving a speech to members about the Word of Wisdom." At the time, their was a Church owned Wine making place in St. George and ran the place as the wine was used for their religious meeting and the building is still there. In Nephi, Utah, their was another place where the Vine Bluff Cemetery now exists. When they started to bury people there, the name was modified to call it Vine Bluff Cemetery. Now adays LDS Saints are preached to take the Word of Wisdom seriously. Perhaps they did, especially in 1930, when a brilliant Scientist; Scholar and Author by the name of John Widtsoe came along and wrote a pamphlet, then a book inspiring LDS Leader's to insist on making the Word Of Wisdom a very truthful and divine word. It wasn't long before world leaders took heed to the sensibility to the pamphlet below. In addition, Widtsoe became President of the AC college(Utah State): the University of Utah, then an Apostle for the LDS church. SO BELEIVE IT OR NOT-YOUR HEALTH DEPENDS ON IT and perhaps, just perhaps, so does God.
