For years the message was come to the meetings and the meetings will take care of.....(insert marriage or family). Some brothers took that literally. When marriages fail, elders will look at the brother why the marriage failed.
It's not the system. It's not "come to the meetings and the meetings will take care of your marriage or family". In a sense the elders are right in the husband being accountable, but as far as allowing damaging words to be uttered in the meetings such as that, elders come across as hirelings and not shepherds.
