:I smoked 2 packs a day when I was contacted and began to study, and after a couple of months, I was asked NOT to smoke during the "bible" study because we wouldn't have Jehovah's blessing on it.
This, in my own home...and I went along with it!
Around 1970 our presiding overseer told us that when he first became a JW in the 1950's he would go out in field service with his partner, and every hour they would stop, sit down on the curb and light up cigarettes together! He said it was no big deal back then.
"Jehovah" seems to have a hard time making up his mind about what is right and what is wrong and who to bless when right is wrong and wrong is right...or something like that.
