Euphemism
'A conscience matter', in JW terms, can mean any of the following:
a) We won't disfellowship you for doing that, but we'll consider you as having disassociated yourself
b) We won't disfellowship you for doing it, but you would be ineligible for 'privileges'
c) We won't punish you if you do that, but we'll consider you 'unspiritual'
d) There's actually nothing wrong with that, but we can't just come out and say it because we used to teach that it was worngLet the reader use discernment to figure out which one is applicable in each case.

Didn't having a conscience usually mean a fear of being punnished for doing wrong of being caught?
I don't believe that "fear of being caught or punished" is what constitutes having a conscience. Having a conscience would be knowing something is either right or wrong and then doing the right thing because it is what we know is right. Drinking alcholic beverages might be something you could consider to be a conscience matter. If you honestly feel that drinking them is wrong then you sholdn't drink because of you conscience. If you honestly fell it OK to drink then your conscience won't condem you if you do.
