The Watchtower, “Questions From Readers”
“For many, this seems a harmless custom or social grace, but there are good reasons why Jehovah’s Witnesses do not share in toasting.”
The question is ‘The Bible does not mention toasting, so why do Jehovah’s Witnesses avoid sharing in toasts?’ The answer ends: ‘there are valid reasons why Christians do not share in toasting, which has a religious background and even now can be viewed as asking “heaven” for a blessing, as if seeking aid from a superhuman force.’
