We use tobacco, alcohol, coffee and tea as the lowest common denominator for baptism and the temple.
Then, each member is encouraged to develop their spiritual selves, and prepare to live the WoW and other commandments at higher levels, as they prepare themselves. Line upon line, precept upon precept.
In this way, none of us has to start out with the commandment, "Be ye therefore perfect" and know we've already failed the test.
