What would your conscience permit you to do that an average JW wouldn't do?

It's not that I would do something that a witness wouldnt' it's just that I would have to sneak around and lie about what I was doing!

I have even been to a CASINO!!
Ooops, me too. Going to a casino is one of the things my conscience has always allowed me to do. Think about it. I have a stressful job and work too much. About once every other month, I go to the casino with $20 in my pocket, never more than that. I'll sit at a 5 cent machine and play keno. Even if I lose, $20 lasts about three ti four hours. Now, if you spend 3 hours at a bar, have a few drinks and leave a tip, you spend more than $20. So, for a person like me, I honestly don't see how getting a little relaxation at a casino every once in a while and never spending more than $20 can be 'sinful'. Of course, I constantly got lots of grief about that from the JW'S. Then, about 5 years ago, I went on my bi-monthly trip to the casino, and who did I see there, sitting at one of the slot machines? Right, one of the elder's daughters 'in good standing'. I hurried to say hello, haha! She begged me not to say a word about this to anyone. I told her fair is fair, if I get grief about going to the casino one more time, I will tell, you can count on it. It didn't take long before my 'bad gambling habit' came up in conversation again, and I did mention who I saw at the casino. You might think that this was not a nice thing to do on my part, but I don't feel guilty about it. If you are going to do something behind the back, then you have to deal with the consequences. Not even being a baptized JW, I was always very honest with them about everything. Anyway, when I mentioned my run-in with the elder's daughter, they didn't believe me. The person in question denied it up and down, and of course they believed her, not me. But strange enough, the casino never came up in conversation again.

Bars, churches, celebration of holidays, voting, accepting medical advice, even if it involves a transfusion, trusting the world (a bit), being happy without serving Jehovah!
