    Preface: Jehovah's past exploits excludes him from anything that may benefited all of humankind.

    Please share your knowledge and experience of Mate.

    I tried it. I didn't notice any immediate effects. It was probably the best tasting drink that a primitive society had. Since it tasted better that bilge-water they figured it came from a GOD. It's all relative.

    What's the big thrill about yerba mate? They sell it in the "Fiesta" supermarket in Houston.

    Mate, in all it's forms, is clearly not for True Christians.

    Consider:

    Check Mate

    Coffee Mate

    Marriage Mate

    School Mate

    and, probably the most dangerous one of all....

    UNBELIEVING MATE!!

    So, dear Brothers & Sisters, avoid Mate in all it's demonic forms.

    (Nice to hear from you James.)

    My son raves that it keeps him energetic, and it has health benefits, and he just really likes it. He never drank soda of any kind growing up. I think he might drink some coffee now, but that is his only caffiene. He took up the mate' habit while in college.

    I got rather concerned a few years back when I would go into the Yellow Deli to eat, and the waiter ( this is entirely run by a cult BTW) overheard me say my son bought a french press for the mate, and the waiter asked if I was XXX's mom. I never mentioned my son's name, so it alarmed me he knew my son by name like that, and that that my son was there so much. Needless to say it worried the heck out of me for a while.
