Anti-Bible Therapy

I chose to be an evangelist At my own cost, three years now In this land South of the equator Anti-biblical things pass for therapy A couple had trouble being honest To many silly secrets, even church visits Caused weekly disagreements They sought help from their church elder Long story short: Elder D tried to separate, isolate, "purify" the couple In church, at home, at bible study: Not to sit with, or talk much to, each other Iron fist control freak elder went beserk As the couple left the church That imprisoned them, forced to love God - Take each person in love, all humans beings then -? Treat them like criminals: isolation Solitary confinement, to love Jesus more! What a sham & shame, on the Church Who let such pain pass for therapy Not quoting Bible verses, or Jesus's life! How He dealt w kiith prostitutes & sinners
