    A sign that a person or organization is abusive is when they point the finger outward and blame others for all their issues and shortcomings and do not accept feedback on things that need improvement.

    and "These Jehovah Witness elders are shown themselves to be woefully ignorant of standard practices in the real world, seriously unprepared for hearings, completely lacking in compassion for the victim and untrained to be real shepherds; and all consistently have poor memories." (emph mine.)

    from the ARC 2015

    Consider the performance of the elders at the ARC where they had time to prepare and notes (!) to call on. How would such buffoons be expected to advice or support a person stricken with depression.

    He might as well be reading directly off a transcript. For a talk about coping with depression he is sorely lacking a compassionate voice. And the victim blaming is pathetic.

    WOW- so around the 30 minute mark--- if you are UNHAPPY in a marriage and you realize that you did indeed marry the WRONG person. TOO BAD!!! You are under a contract with God and you will have to suffer through it.

    Without JWs, pharmaceuticals who manufacture antidepressants would have much lower profits.

    So yeah, being a JW is pretty much hand-in-glove with being depressed. Funny how that works.

    Depression is a part of this life as a Jehovah's Witness.

    There, I fixed it.

    They want to give the message that depression is not caused by being in their 'spiritual paradise and when it is it's not their fault, it is somebody else's, such as the disfellowshipped person.

    This talk was so over the top I couldn't help wondering if the speaker was "awake"... It seemed like satire to me! or am I finally seeing thru the double-talk....
