Another interesting find from Galatians 6:1. Notice the difference i have pointed out:
Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. (NIV)
Brothers, even though a man takes some false step before he is aware of it, YOU who have spiritual qualifications try to readjust such a man in a spirit of mildness, as you each keep an eye on yourself, for fear you also may be tempted. (NWT)

Its confusing!
What does Paul mean by "spiritual"?
Well, to Paul one could be "soulish" ie: focussed on the physical things or one could be spiritual ie: Focussed on God and Christ and lead by the Spirit.
The only qualification to be spiritual, according to Paul, is to have and be sealed by the HS and to do that is to accept Christ as Lord and to believe in the ressurection.
Of course to JW's only the "annointed" are sealed by the HS and as such, only they are "spiritual".
Of course ALL that are spiritual ( believe in Christ as Lord and the ressurection) are indeed annointed and sealed by the HS, so ALL believers are spiritual.
Reproaching someone must be doen with love and the HS guiding Us.
