Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that our taking part in any form of false religion is displeasing to Jehovah and must be avoided. See the scriptures at (2 Corinthians 6:14-17; Revelation 18:4) A church wedding is a religious service that likely involves a sermon advocating prayers and other religious exercises contrary to Bible teachings. Being in a group where everyone else is engaging in a false religious act, a Christian may find it difficult to resist the pressure to join in. Perhaps the wedding is not of such a formal religious nature. In any case, a Christian must carefully weigh all the factors involved. Under certain circumstances he or she may conclude that no difficulties would arise from attending a church wedding as an observer. However, the circumstances may be such that by attending, the likely injury to one’s own conscience or to that of others would outweigh the possible benefits of being present. Whatever the situation, the Christian should make sure that the decision will not interfere with his preserving a good conscience before God and men. It is a personal call and Witnesses do well to look into the nature of the wedding service before they decide whether to attend or not.
