The Watchtower, “Questions From Readers”
“However, certain forms of employment are in clear violation of Bible principles and should be avoided. These include employment connected with gambling, the misuse of blood, and the promoting of tobacco products.”
The question is whether a Christian may accept employment that involves being armed. The answer says armed work is a personal decision but lists three kinds of work that remain prohibited outright.
