What would happen if WTS banned alcohol?

Confession

Any thoughts? Would they last? How long?

It would be about as successful as Prohibition was, ultimately... I think they should do it!!

it wouldnt go down well would it? probably up to 20% of jws use booze to try to remain sane.

I imagine the drinkers would just drink at home (and deny it).

They couldnt, even paul said a little wine is good for the soul (too lazy too lookup the scripture, take my word for it :-))

Actually, I think JWs are not supposed to drink alcohol in cities, counties, states, and countries that ban alcohol...do you think they break the law......nah
I knew Bethelites that broke the underage drinking law in New York all the time.
How would the WTS enforce it? The US government couldn't.

No way that would happen... far too many JWs self medicate with alcohol so they can tolorate all of the demands put on them by the Watchtower Society.

... or maybe the could treat it like blood... Wine would be a concience matter, but beer and liquor would be a NO NO...
Ya think NiyQuill would be a concience matter?
