All I know is it was a lot easier being a young person before the elder arrangement--not nearly so many restrictions. We could have parties, we could date without a chaperone, and people weren't always spying on one another.

You are correct. Nothing about The arrangement is pastoral. Elders are watchdogs ever ready to mete out justice.
