The Word of Wisdom?

*A word to the wise*
"The Word of Wisdom is a revelation given by Joseph Smith on February 27, 1833, forbidding the use of hot drinks, alcoholic beverages and tobacco. Mormon writer John H. Stewart wrote concerning the Word of Wisdom that "not one can hold high office in the Church, on even the stake or ward level, nor participate in temple work, who is a known user of tea, coffee, liquor or tobacco... 'The prophet himself carefully observed the Word of Wisdom, and insisted upon its observance by other high men in High Church positions...' (Joseph Smith the Mormon Prophet, 1966, p.90). In spite of this statement by John J Stewart, the evidence shows that Joseph Smith did not keep the Word of Wisdom, and at times he would even advise others to disobey it. In a thesis written, at the Mormon-operated Brigham Young University, Gary Dean Guthrie gives the following information: "Joseph tested the Saints to make sure their testimonies were of his religion and not of him as a personal leader. Amasa Lyman, of the First presidency, related: 'Joseph Smith tried the faith of the Saints many times by his peculiarities. At one time, he had preached a powerful sermon on the Word of Wisdom, and immediately thereafter, he rode through of Nauvoo smoking a cigar. Some of the brethren were tried as was Abraham of old.' (Joseph Smith As As Administrator, Masters Thesis, Brigham Young University, May 1969, p161)...
...Joseph Smith admitted several times that he drank wine, and under the date June1, 1844, he stated that he had "a glass of beer at Moessers." (www.utlm.org/onlineboods/changech2.html)
The Word of Wisdom was not an important revelation for him to follow, only for the Saints who believed in their prophet. So, the next time a Mormon boasts about the Word of Wisdom:
Remember "It's not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man, but what comes out of it."
