I do recall at a District Convention about 10 years ago a dramatization of a couple who moved into a congregation that needed help. The couple discussed how they got some raised eyebrows from brothers/sisters who came over for dinner when they saw the couple's wine rack. The couple decided to get rid of it because they didn't was to "stumble" anyone in their new congregation.
i remember that as well! In the end, the bible talks about drinking somewhat favorable in some key passages. They wont shut it down completely, too many dubbies need to drink to cope with the cognitive dissonance.

Massive hints against alcohol
by purrpurr inin the most recent assembly there were several heavy hints about not drinking alcohol at all.
saying that it doesn't give a good witness or would stumble others.. is this a new "unwritten directive?.

Short answer: i would say no. Your fine. You never know what question or what point will open the door for someone to see the real truth. I wouldnt push it until hes ready for more but i wouldnt worry that you said too much. Its a process, not a one time event :)

Lol well yes but i allowed for “off the books” deals (not saying i buy into that just hedging my bets on it, slim style). A licensing fee isnt off the books
