    This elder advised me to turn down an internship at the NSA. :-(.

    That was the last time i ever took any advice from a witness.

    An elder (also my father) told me that if my husband was abusive to me it must be for something I was doing wrong.

    They told me to break off my engagement and not marry the lady I had promised to marry. We've been married 24 years!

    A CO suggested that I might just be better off if I just went and shot myself.  This was after I openly questioned our PO's stance on higher education.

    "Prayer is the only cure for depression" 

    "Suicide is punishable by Disfellowshipping." 

    "If you husband can go three nights without a drink, he is not an alcoholic."

    "Your husband is your owner."

    WTF???

    I was in a judicial meeting over alleged "porneia" from 4 years prior(4 years, in case you missed it) - At the first meeting, the chairman of the committee said that I was absolutely not to tell my wife why I was meeting with them!  WTF!?
