I don't think they will make caffeine a disfellowshipping issue, I think this article was all about keeping the little dubs under control. Whoever asked the question must have first consulted their craptower index, (at least it's my impression that's what you are supposed to think) when they couldn't find anything recent enough, they did the right thing and sort advice from the WTBTS. Like all good little dubbies should. They never talk about anything without throwing in a few negatives, not unless it's something they've written of course.

New Findings on Coffee"Decaffeinated coffee is no healthier than conventional coffee and may be just as likely to keep drinkers awake all night," states TheTimes of London. Research by scientists at University Hospital, in Zurich, Switzerland, suggests that because both forms of coffee affect the cardiovascular and nervous systems in almost identical ways, caffeine may not be the problem. Lead researcher Dr. Roberto Conti admits: "Until now we have attributed the cardiovascular effects of coffee to caffeine, but we found [that] non-coffee drinkers given decaffeinated coffee also display these effects. This demonstrates how little we know about the effects of one of our most popular beverages, and the most abundantly consumed stimulant worldwide."

? Should a Christian avoid coffee and tea because they contain the addictive drug caffeine?
The Bible does not mention coffee or tea. But what it does say can help a Christian to decide whether he will drink coffee or tea.

The Bible does not rule out a Christian's consuming coffee, tea, chocolate, maté, and sodas that contain caffeine.
That's all they really need to say on the matter.

The lastest issue of the watchtower perhaps?I heard that Brooklyn Headquarters is about to ban toilet paper from Kingdom Halls, because it stirs up controversy amongst the friends.
The friends will be encouraged to bring along their own wiping device of choice from home.
I feel sorry for the poor tree used to print the borgs literature, if I were a tree and had the choice between the mags or toilet paper, I would choose to be a roll of charmin.
