Let me quote from the article.
"The remaining 76% of the company is owned by various and sundry institutional and individual investors, some of whom may indeed be Mormon"...........It also says that 1% of Coca Cola equates to about 1.375 billion. That to me would be "massive" financial interest, even if it was only 1%.
Then it goes on to say that mormons have been allowed to drink Cola (and other soft drinks) all along. They could have fooled me. I'm down here in the Lethbridge area, where there are plenty mormons that have told me in the past "no thanks, I can't drink that" when I offer a Coke.
At the bottom of the article it lists a few of the "frowned upon" substances like coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol etc. So what is it in coffee that makes it forbidden? Could it be the caffiene content? I didn't think a harmless coffee bean could be so bad. I smell a rat here.
