Part 3
Is this you in the morning?
Then you have an addiction.
Does this make you lick your
lips? Then you have an addiction.
Is this you when you go to long
without caffeine? (Soda, Tea, Coffee)
If its not good for our children then why
are you drinking it?
Are you telling your children do as I say
not as I do?
Your body is the Temple of the Holy
Ghost, which is in you, which you have
of God, and you are not your own. You
are bought with a price (1 Cor. 6:19-29)

WRONG, There is no LIFE without JESUS!! Caffeine is an Addiction, a DRUG, a VICE. This is what a drug does to you.

So true, over work that
heart and you will be
sleeping soon!
Yes cloud your mind,
block off the Holy Ghost!!

Ellen White's Comments:
Ellen White discussed coffee and tea rather than caffeine. The word "coffee" appears 549
times, and "tea" 586 times; coffee and tea are used together 515 times.4 She does not
talk about chocolate or cola.
Ellen White discussed the effect of caffeine on the mind, saying that it decreases brain
activity, although it temporarily excites and increases energy with acute caffeine use.
Furthermore, she realized the problem with chronic use. She said this about coffee and
tea: "Tea has an influence to excite the nerves, and coffee benumbs the brain; both are
highly injurious. You should be careful of your diet."5
On several occasions Ellen White drank green or black tea when she was sick. But other
than these rare exceptions she did not drink coffee or caffeinated tea, or keep it in her
house.6 She occasionally used catnip, red clover blossom, hop, and beef tea--all
noncaffeinated drinks.
Although Ellen White did not have the benefit of the scientific knowledge now available,
she concluded that coffee and tea impair the functioning of the mind and should be taken
only rarely, for medicinal purposes on a short-term basis. She also discussed how harmful
caffeine is on our mind and related it to our spiritual lives. Writing in the Review and
Herald, she said of coffee and tea, "Those nerve irritants are wearing away the life forces,
and the restlessness caused by shattered nerves, the impatience, the mental feebleness,
becomes a warning element against spiritual progress."7 Truly, when the mind is clouded,
our spiritual lives will also be impaired.
White's writings indicate that people should drink coffee and tea only for rare medicinal
purposes. Medical knowledge has increased, and many more medicines are now
available for treatment. In addition, coffee and tea are not necessary today because many
medicines that do not cause anxiety, tolerance, post-use crash, or the potential for
addiction are available.
