Does that mean psychologista and psychiatrists are unable to help people unless they themselves have experienced what their patient is going through?

Yah, pretty much...God didn't suggest you get a 4 year education to become a pastor...He wants you to live it...He said grow a family...And here's the principle involved...

2Co 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

It's one thing to read about it...It's an entirely different thing to live it...

You certainly read all sorts of things into scripture, don't you?

There's also this....

1 Timothy 3:1-13 The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church?

It's pretty straightforward that the man is to be married and manage his own household well and Paul gives the reason.

Of course, anyone who can justify disobeying direct commands of Jesus by calling their religious leaders *Father* will have no problem weaseling out of obeying this command as well.

If they will disregard Jesus' own words they will disregard Paul for sure.
