Yes my experience being that these elders are giving advise that they are not trained to give. A person could be suicidal but all they know how to do is push their beliefs ie. go to more meetings, get out in the field service etc. In their small narrow minds thats the only way that you can be healed and find happiness. My problem is they have not being trained to recognize real medical problems (Most of these elders are janitors, labourers etc.) such as clinical depression. Thus they can be giving bad advise to someone that should be getting professional counselling.
