Is there anything in decaffeinated tea that is harmful or addictive?

Probably; their only dislike of tea is the caffeine, which is "addictive". Silly notion, really; anything and everything can be addictive, caffeinated or not. XD

The general idea is to take care of our bodies and not harm them with alcohol, and other addicting or damaging substances. As far as decaff, I don't know for sure, I can have a virgin pina colada since there is no alcohol but we don't know all the reasons that we should avoid coffee, so drinking decaff may not be in keeping with the Lord's command. Also with the food that has wine in it, well...most of the time the alcohol was burned off through cooking, and if there is a minimal amount for flavoring...well I guess it's not a problem, but I don't want to flirt with the limits so I'll generally avoid it. The whole caffeine thing is based on the first premise. Doctrinally, the church advises against caffeine but doesn't enforce or require abstinence from it for worthiness considerations. Yet the interesting thing is that caffeine is starting to rear it's ugly head as a very damaging substance to human health. Our bodies were created by God, and therefore are precious gifts to be cared for. Even Jesus Christ retrieved His body from the tomb. That must say something about our earthly tabernacle's importance.

No it is not. It is also not ok to drink a Starbucks Frappuccino. It is cold, but still coffee. How many times do you have to be told that caffein is NOT the issue. It is coffee and tea ONLY.

I don't know, but it really doesn't bother me one way or another. I'll still be able to sleep not knowing the answer to this question. My advice would be, ask a Mormon this question.
