Frequently Asked Questions About Jehovah’s Witnesses, “What Happens at a Wedding of Jehovah’s Witnesses?”

· section ‘Will there be a toast?’ · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“The Bible does not prohibit toasting or clinking glasses, but some couples may ask guests not to offer toasts in order to avoid stumbling others.”

The organisation’s current answer about weddings, read on the Watchtower Online Library. It gives the position after the July 2025 announcement and makes no reference to the earlier counsel. The sentence is followed in the original by a reference to Romans 14:21.

Note sur la fiabilité. Opened on 19 September 2026 and re-opened for audit the same day; the sentence was read in full. This entry carries no publication date, so the date field is null. The Watchtower Online Library cites it as “ijwfq article 62”: the 62 in this record’s id is the article number, not a page number, even though the library marks it with a page marker.

Notes. Compare the 2007 answer, which said Witnesses ‘do not share in toasting’.

The Watchtower (Study Edition), “To Please Jehovah, Keep Training Your Conscience”

novembre 2026 · pp.4-5 · par. 9 and the picture description · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“In the first picture, a brother feels comfortable with toasting in a social setting. In the second picture, a brother chooses not to take part in a toast that might appear to be nationalistic.”

The study article sets out two Witnesses at work dinners who reach opposite decisions about joining a toast, and says ‘the goal of both brothers is to please Jehovah by acting in harmony with his will’. The words quoted here are the article’s own picture description, printed as a footnote to the illustration.

Note de provenance et de vérification for The Watchtower (Study Edition), To Please Jehovah, Keep Training Your Conscience

Note sur la fiabilité. Article opened on the Watchtower Online Library and re-opened for audit on 19 September 2026. Paragraph 9 begins on page 4 and straddles the page 5 marker; the article runs pp. 2-7 and the table of contents of the issue confirms that the next article begins on page 8. The picture description is printed after the last page marker in the document, so its page was not taken from the nearest preceding marker: its reference marker sits on the illustration line between the page 5 and page 6 markers, which puts it on page 5.

Notes. Shows the practical effect of the 2025 decision in a study article: a Witness joining a toast is now illustrated approvingly.
