For weeks now I’ve been seeing a persistent rumor circulating in social media: that the prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Russell M. Nelson, is about to lift the ban on members drinking coffee and tea.
Now before I go on the record as saying that I think this rumor is, at best, wishful thinking on the part of people who would like to gulp down a guilt-free frappuccino, let me out myself as an utter failure at giving credence to other early rumors when those rumors did, in fact, wind up bearing fruit.
