The Elders help

punkofnice

A young JW I used to know (nice person), said within earshot to a non DF'd ex JW he knew that his "..parents are up and down in the relationship and the elders(tm) are going to help."

The non df'd ex JW said to me that he considered that after the elders(tm) get involved his parents were bound to split up. The non DF'd ex JW also commented: "What do elders know? They've had no professional training!"

So. I wonder exactly how the elders(TM) will help.....ask about sexual positions? Read from their silly books?

I pity the poor family!

Was help requested in the first place or are they just nosing their way in?

Brainfloss - That conjours up an hilarious picture (..here to help!....and have you got any spare cash?)

JK - That is something I didn't ask but knowing the couple it would be the uberdub wife that went to the elders(tm).....as is often the case in my experience....one uberdub fudges up a marriage by bringing the WBT$ in.

SIAR2 - It spells disaster whatever the origin. Poor beggars.

They will tell them to read the bible watchtower together and say that if they are spiritually strong what problems could they possibly have?!

It makes you wonder how strong the marriage bonds of elders are that they can give such good counsel.....

Elders advice For individuals:

Pray more, study more, attend more meetings, go out in service more

Elders advice for couples:

Pray more, study more, attend more meetings, go out in service more, together.

Argh... imagine how ridiculous it would be to give that advice to individuals who suffer from depression...
