LisaRose - "Do the elders receive any training in mental illness?"
Just the ones who suffer from it, and it's more of a "learn by doing" kinda thing.

As I was fading, I got a visit from the elders since they hadn't seen me in a while. I talked openly about my struggles with realizing that I was an alcoholic, that I was seeing a therapist, and that she was really helping me with my addiction. Knowing these men for many years, I expected something like "I'm so proud of you for facing this head on." Or "Boy, that must have been really difficult for you to acknowledge." Nope. Got a cold response of something like "But why are you neglecting Jehovah's therapy?" That was the last straw and never went back.
