JW Broadcasting — 2025 Governing Body Update #4, “2025 Governing Body Update #4 (official English subtitles)”
“For years, Jehovah's Witnesses have avoided this practice because it may have had origins in false religion. However, now in most places, toasting or clinking glasses no longer has any religious association. … the Governing Body has concluded that there is no need to make a rule regarding toasting and clinking glasses.”
Presented as an application of principles about customs (alongside wedding rings and string lights).
