  what is the difference (if any) between being guided by holy spirit and being inspired by holy spirit?

  is it just semantics?.

  I figured that was the case. Couldn’t find any good, logical explanation to either one...

  i find it very strange that they never mentioned what changes were made in the updates, especially when it comes to the publications.

  Wasn’t the admonition not to write christian rock/pop songs since that’s what “false” christians did?

  Many don’t use FaceBook. They usually prefer Instagram and keep closed accounts. Or they keep in touch via WhatsApp.

  Why Jehovah witnesses don't say, "Bless you" ?

  by Issa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  bless you, that was a big sneeze you let out sister.. sister- ah, what does "bless you" mean?.

  oh, it's pagan.

  because people bless the soul of the person so they don't escape from their physical bodies.. sister- right, it is difficult to change the little things, but we can please jehovah by staying away from those things.. .... this is a scenario that happened when i accidentally (naturally) said "bless you" to the jw sister.

  Definitely a way to set yourself apart from the rest of the “world”, and to make it obvious that you’re no part of it. It also makes for a great way to give a witness to someone. The witness is probably going to be sooooo happy when a non-beliver asks them about it. It could lead to a bible study... or whatever 😏

  “There’s nothing out there in the world for you...”

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  how would you guys react if or when you were told this phrase by a jw while having a conversation?

  another phrase is “this world...” or “this system, like gum will chew you up and when it’s done with you, spit you right back out.”.

  one i’ve been personally told was from a convert that had told me “whenever i speak to young ones that want to know if the grass is greener on the other side, i tell them i was a part of it.

  "Cultivate Self-Control"

  by mrssauk in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this weeks watchtower study (september 2017) about self-control states: "clearly, people who lack self-control are causing problems for themselves and for others.

  and the problem of lacking self-control is worsening.

  self-discipline was studied in the 1940’s, but recent studies have shown that people have become much worse at exercising self-discipline.

  Thanks Sparky1 - seems to be the most logical study.

  Steve2 - Always out of context and never give your sources... 😏

And the problem of lacking self-control is worsening. Self-discipline was studied in the 1940’s, but recent studies have shown that people have become much worse at exercising self-discipline. This is no surprise to students of God’s Word because the Bible foretold that one evidence that we are living in “the last days” is that men would be “without self-control.”​—2 Tim. 3:1-3."

  Does anyone know what studies is referred to, because I can't find anything...
