"encouraged"

I see the word 'encouraged' has crept in a few times. This is JW-speak for something that members are told to do, and for which they face sanctions or 'marking' if they don't follow such 'encouragement'. The term should be avoided unless it is used in its typical sense as understood by people in general.--Jeffro77 08:25, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
