This when said by elders:
"We want to encourage you" in the sense of
"we want to show you scripturally just where you're going wrong and tell you what to do to please Jehovah."
Similarly "spiritually weak" doesn't mean spiritually weak as anyone might think. It means "spiritually weak" as in "you're not doing what we tell you".
Likewise "spiritually strong" "spiritually mature" "spiritual babes"
In fact "spiritual" in a JW sense doesn't necessarily mean doing anything spiritual or having a spiritual outlook. It might mean giving out magazines, or "going to meetings" or even, and here is another one...
"answering up"
"answering up" means putting your hand up and giving answers a five-year old could work out from what's just been read straight from a WT article. It might even mean "Look at me, I've actually been researching in the Insight book and this is really truly what I found, aren't I clever/good/diligent/spiritual (see above)"
"doing really well" as in "learning how to toe the Watchtower line"
"missing you" means "why weren't you at the meeting/at the ministry group, your absence was noted"
"studying" does NOT mean any kind of academic study, nor anyth8ing that stretches the mind. It means "learning how to switch off the brain and shut up with those awkward questions. And how to toe the line (see above)
And a lot more where that came from.
But then, I'm learning how to be a really evil apostate.
