yeay i feel for this situation. i went through severe depression when i was a Jdub and the elders and parents continued to offer biblical advice to me to help end it. this is one of the ways they can realy be harmfull. someone could kill themselves over this crap and the elders would just respond by saying "well, we did the best we could do". why not try professional help, oh yeay that's because shrinks will cloud our minds away from biblical teachings.

14Elders or Marriage Counselors?!?!?! (Read This One)
by thepackage inits interesting how the wts tries to give marital advice via unqualified elders.
recently a friend of mine and his spouse have been having martial trouble.
he no longer believes the wts lies and maintains a low profile.

Elders Are Closing In....
by daniel-p inwell, it's been about 6 months or so since i've turned in a time report and things are heating up a bit.
i still attend the meetings with my wife - i am still "visible" - but i have not gone out in service for a conspicuous amount of time.
just this afternoon the po called and wanted to meet with me.

hay undercover, i also have had no real problems with the elders. when i started doubting things they made one shepparding call because i was a reg. pioneer and MS but after that it was nothing. i have the feeling that they just thought it was a phase that i would break out of. even after i moved to another city and attended the meetings (leaving right after) for about a year there were no shepparding calls on me. i got the feeling that nobody cared. or maybe the elders were just so busy with all the other people doing naughty things and their own families that they just didn't have time. nobody seemed to care about me and i just couldn't buy all that propaganda about the all powerfull invisible God.
or maybe just maybe they didn't have a response for all of my "interesting" questions...

Assembly/Convention Likes and Dislikes
by KW13 ini really hated the long sessions without breaks and how the brothers would say things, i think well aware that they'd get applause.
"so bro's and sisters....don't you...bla bla bla?
" **insert lots of clapping**

i liked to watch the inapropriately dressed sisters hug each other. it gave me naughty lesbian fantasies. i also liked the last prayer because i knew that i was that much closer to getting home and ummm... using the bathroom...
i didn't like the lunch breaks, they were too long and i wanted to hurry up and get home.
