How to Remain in God’s Love, “Chapter 13: Do All Celebrations Please God?”

2017 · p.181 · pars. 19-20 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“A common practice at weddings and other social occasions is toasting. During a toast, one person expresses good wishes while others raise their glasses. How should Christians view toasting?”

The revised edition of the same chapter keeps a section on toasting, now headed ‘The Origins of Toasting’, describes the pagan origin and says ‘that is not how Jehovah provides blessings’, but no longer calls the custom unacceptable and gives no instruction to avoid it.

“Keep Yourselves in God’s Love”, “Chapter 13: Celebrations That Displease God”

2008 · p.154 · pars. 19-20, and the study question above them · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“What does one secular source say about the origin of toasting, and why is this custom unacceptable to Christians?”

The study question printed above paragraphs 19 and 20 of the chapter, under the subheading ‘Toasting—A Religious Gesture?’. The paragraphs themselves say the custom of lifting wine glasses heavenward ‘might be viewed as a request to “heaven”—a superhuman force—for a blessing in a way that does not accord with that outlined in the Scriptures’.
