Does anyone know if the new elders' manual addresses attempted suicide? In the previous manual, it was seen as a potential judicial matter, which is absolutely ridiculous. Have they changed it?

Thanks. I didn't want to take a chance with downloading any files to my computer. When I looked at the old manual and saw that they put attempted suicide right in between manslaughter and porneia, it really turned my stomach. Even if they say that in most cases a judicial hearing is not required, why even put it in that category? It should've been in a completely different chapter. Things like that show us just how clueless those idiots are.

Because in many cases judicial action is required. In a congregation in my city, a child abuser attempted suicide once he got to know that he has been outed. His attempt to suicide was a hoax to claim mental depression and wiggle out of a JC and the law. While elders were dealing with him compassionately, the police officers arrested him and gave him a beating of his life. He is behind bars.
The judicial hearing will not be for the attempted suicide, but for the reason behind it. and the reason behind attempting suicide or a pretense of attempting suicide is not always depression.

Read the references given after the sentence - g 4/14 pages 6-9. It mentions about getting professional help.

They said it was mentioned in the references, but I still disagree with the placement of this particular subject in the previous manual. I understand that their might be certain circumstances to consider, but to put suicide in the same category as manslaughter and sex is just irresponsible.
