If a worker says to you GLAD TO SEE YOU OUT TONIGHT after gospel meeting is over, does that mean he thinks you are losing out?

It means that he'd be glad to see you out the door because we don't want your kind stinking up the meetings.

If a worker says to you GLAD TO SEE YOU OUT TONIGHT after gospel meeting is over, does that mean he thinks you are losing out? Are you losing out? Are you missing some meetings? Do you have doubts? Likely what he said to you means to you what you think he said to you. To you it is "I am losing out and they are glad that I have come today." The guilt is on your part.

Very good. Blame the victim. It's all you know. Victim? What victim? The poster thought there was negative implication in the workers remark that s/he (the worker) was glad to see her/him (the poster). The poster seems to have a guilt complex. The guilt is on part of the poster.

You don't know what the worker means when they say that. It depends on what meaning of the word "glad" it is using.
It Depends

Disregarding the fact that I believe this was just meant to be an inflammatory post to begin with, why do some assume that if the workers have said something, there is always some ulterior motive. They could have said the sky is blue, and someone here would say 'Well, what did he/she mean by THAT then? ' You know? Ah, well. Just an observation. As others have said, my guess would be that he/she was just glad to see you out and about. But hey..could be wrong. Sheesh. Mich

As Freud once said, "Sometimes a cigar...is just a cigar" Take his words at face value.

Yes Tell Me, this is exactly what it means. The 2x2s have a language all of their own and the language that they use doesn't have the same meaning it would have in common day usage.
"Glad to see you out" is a familiar 2x2 line and means that he is genuinely glad to see you out but likely for the very reason that you haven't been out recently as much as you might have been and he's noted the fact. It is meant to make you feel slightly better about having made the effort but also to put a litte bit of subtle pressure on you to make sure you're out more often from now so the next time you think about not appearing you'll remember what he said. If you're still unfortunate to be under the control of the workers it probably will have an effect. For a time anyway.
I distinctly recall them telling me that "I enjoyed your little word" after a meeting in which I'd spoken. Do you think they really enjoyed what I said? I very much doubt it. You can probably tell from the quote that I didn't speak very often at times and it was therefore their way of encouragng me to speak more often but also letting me know that it had been noted thereby putting me under a little pressure to speak more often. Not for the value for what I said of course but to attempt to pressurise me into conforming. That's what it's all about after all - conforming.
I suggest you buck up your ways and start doing better or you'll be having a few more of those chats.
