During the final months that my family was in the cult, my 15-year old daughter went to the stake young women's conference, held at a local college (i.e. dorm room's, etc). My daughter was already hating Mormonism by that point, and was so glad that we were leaving, but she went to the conference because her Mormon girlfriends talked her in to it. All of the stake would eat their meals in the college cafeteria, where evil was present in the form of coffee machines, pitchers of iced tea, etc. In other words, the cafeteria had not been Mormonized. My daughter went to the coffee machine, poured a large cup of coffee, and went back to her table to partake. She describes a "silent hush" came over the cafeteria, as the stake leaders and all of the young women in the stake stared at her in utter horror. She didn't miss a beat. She just kept drinking the evil bean brew, smiling all the while, and kept repeating, "OMG this is so good...especially w/ the mocca..."
The stake leaders immediately gathered in the center of the cafeteria in a circle to discuss this act of blatant apostacy, they kept looking back at my daughter (who kept drinking the coffee). Soon the leaders embraced each other in a prayer circle, and one of them began to pray. Then one leader broke away from the group, approached my daughter, and said, "Sister Johnson, we need you to put down the cup, and stop drinking the coffee. You agreed to follow the word of wisdom in your Bishop's interview before you came, and we expect you to show a good example and live according to the gospel." My daughter replied, "Uh..you need to try this..it's so good...nope I like it, I am going to keep drinking it."
