Hey ex elders, what was the weirdest/most outrageous problem or confession JWs brought to you?

    Just thinking about how I was regularly on the line to an elder because I was feeling messed up with guilt over not 'doing enough' (something I don't feel now I'm out) and one time because I got drunk, and another time about how I'd touched some guy's penis 5 years earlier. Oh, and how I was developing an attraction to my non-JW music teacher. Now if I have a problem, I deal with it a lot better, and if it's really eating me, I talk to my husband or my gorgeous gorgeous (non-JW) mum.

    What crazy/weird/outrageous things did JWs come to you with?

    I had so many weirdo's in my congregation. One sister who had very dry skin was concerned that she may have contaminated the family's food with minute traces of blood whilst preparing it!

    I had another sister who was concerned about performing oral sex on her husband - I just said that is nobody's business except you and him.

    Wow I was expecting the oral sex thing, but the skin? Weird!!! Reminds me of how I went to an elder because I was worried my cat's food was made from unbled meat...

    That was an appropriate response, but she wanted you to tell him off for suggesting it. Sisters want the elders to fix their husbands into the perfect man. That won't happen, men are not perfect.

    I'm an early 30's elder at the time when the older PO tells me after the meeting we need to meet with someone. I walk ino the room and there is the very attractive Filipino sister that is slightly younger than me. We start talking and she proceeds to tell us about her masturbation problem and guilty conscience. Anyway, we gave the regular JW consel and encouraged her to fight the urge blah, blah, blah. Now you can imagine what I thought when I would see her after that.

    She is incrediblly naive to think you wouldn't get passionate after that revelation. LOL it's a freaking cult. Sam xx

    Nah, I think AlphaMan was being naive: the attractive sister was making a play for him (or the other elder) - enticing their interest.

    Else, she would have followed the commonly given advice, that young sisters should approach the older, "wiser" sisters (e.g. Sister ElderWife) for counsel in such a matter.

    Weirdest/most outrageous? Mhmh....leme think...after sitting on over 50 Judicial committees (I stopped counting at some time)...here they are:

    - several times confessions of molesting a child (made me sick to my stomach and awakened the most vile instincts in me - wanting to kill they guy)

    - Son of a famous elder confessed (not to his fanatical father) that he regularly enticed the family dog (German Sheperd) to lick his junk/balls to masturbate. He made a brilliant career, couple of months later his father made him a Ministerial Servant. I hope the dog is OK.

    - Ministerial Servant, single, pious as it can get, pioneering and "exemplary" confessed that he had f***** (because there is not a better word for this) one of his goats (yes, the actual animal). They lived as a big, exemplary, big pioneer family in the country side and had chickens and animals. I learned new things about goats. Things I needen't to know.

    All the other confessions where pretty normal, human stuff > drunkness, masturbation (to the thousandest time), taking drugs, infidelity in all kinds and forms and variations, fornication and touching in all colors of the rainbow,...and one or two sisters confessed an abortion.

    More on the fun side: a single sister wanted to talk to me, visited me at my work place and came in with an almost transparent blouse. Started sobbing and said she had these weird, wet dreams (starts to describe one, what basically amounted to a soft core porn) and then says: and you are in all of them! GULP! I asked her to please herself leave my office and talk to a different group of elders.

    oh.....and a Bible study (unbaptized Publisher) confessed that he had paid a guy to set someone elses house on fire (arson) out of vengeance.

    The human mind can be a very dark place.

    When I was an elder a sister came to us and said that he husband had used a light bulb as a sex toy and it had broken while in use. She went to the hospital to have the glass removed. I think she thought we would hear about it. I didn't ask what size it was. I just told her I hope she was all right and didn't have any problems with the glass. She is dead now as well as her husband, it was about 50 years ago.
