Do jehovah's witness's drink alcohol

Answer 1

Jehovah, the supreme God of The Bible does not forbid the drinking of alcohol. Remember, even Jesus turned water into wine, and wine was consumed during the "Last Supper"as well as at other gatherings.

In line with this, Jehovah's Witnesses do not forbid the use of alcohol (including stronger forms such as rum or vodka) as long as the person consuming the alcohol does not do so to the point of intoxication.

Another Answer:

Yes, we are, although some of us choose not to drink alcohol simply because we don't want to. (Me, for an example) But there is no law against drinking alcohol in moderation among those who are members of the worldwide organization of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Answer 2

If you are asking do Jehovah's Witnesses drink alcohol, then the answer is, in line with scripture each witness is free to drink alcohol in moderation, should he or she so choose.

Jehovah's Witnesses are allowed to drink alcohol in moderation. Let it be noted however, that they are encouraged to not stumble one another. So, as far as drinking is concerned, they are allowed, unless it offends someone else to see them partake.

If they know that it is offensive to someone else, and they partake anyway, they might be counseled by the Elders of the congregation if the stumbled one takes it that far.

The history of alcohol in the Watchtower Society is long and sorted. The second President of the Society, Joseph Rutherford was a known alcoholic and binge drinker.
