The Watchtower, “Questions From Readers”
“A mature Christian would also avoid even imitating false religious rituals.”
Answering ‘Is it proper for Christians to “drink a toast” when they get together?’, the magazine quotes The Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Ed., Volume 13, page 121, on libations to pagan gods, then closes by saying that ‘no one else can serve as the conscience for a particular Christian’ and that each one can think the matter over and make a decision.

Note sur la fiabilité. Document opened on the Watchtower Online Library and re-opened for audit on 19 September 2026; both the quoted sentence and the closing conscience paragraph were read in full. The column runs pp. 31-32, and the quoted words fall after the page 32 marker, so the page is 32.
