@ 27.15 You are Company Men
Thank you Dunedain for this thread.
The Elders of the congregations make for the worst possible "shepards".

It seems like some of them figure that a wolf has to " make a living" too. -

just my opinion here, but
what the society expects men to do, is something by nature men are not equipped for. this is not an insult, its just a simple observation.
women by far are more the emotionaly caretaker support syetem and like to talk, figure things out and are social by nature. which is why when men dont 'talk', women go nuts assuming things,lol
men, not so much, men are more logical, and have a single purpose in mind and would prefer not to multi task. men are excelent in finding a solution to a single problem, like, say, when they see that the numbers are short on the days register totals, they go after the mistake. one project, done. all is well. and move on to the next project.
so a man can be assigned to take care of one thing and do it well, not take care of a whole sh@# load of assignments with unpredicatable outcomes because there are 20 or 30 different people[ half of them female and children] involved. and then do it with two or three other guys who have a different viewpoint but cant openly express it for fear of being scolded by the higher ups.
I have always been sympathetic to elders, the WT steals thier time, and identity and thier peace of mind. turns them into machines, they have to ignore thier emotions and conscience and logic to get the 'job' done.
they got the wrong sex assigned to a job thats probably got the wrong title, lol

Having been one - they are COMPLETELY UNTRAINED AND UNQUALIFIED to be involved in any way in people's lives.
They 80% of the time don't even know the current policies.
They almost all the time NEVER understand motivating factors in people's lives
And they almost NEVER do any real (non WT) reserach when it comes to dealing with difficult issues like Depression, BiPolar...
They are worse than useless - they are often HARMFUL!

Being a Shepherd in real life demands a remarkable skill set, a good education, and huge commitment to really work for the flock, involving the qualities of compassion and empathy.
99.99999% of JW Elders lack such qualities. ( I made that figure up, the percentage may be much higher).
