JW suicide vs Non-JW suicide (page 4)

Sunspot

3 JWs--2 were baptized, 1 was a study. All were adults with minor children.

2 nonJWs.....one was a sick elderly man, the other was a teen in my high school who was always being bullied.

i was born in the org. and left at the age of 25. i've been out almost seven years.

i'm not even including myself in the suicidal attempt/ideation catagory because depression runs in my family/comes with the neurological disease i have so i'm not part of the 'general population' so to speak...

it's so scary. and the people i know who did it were all young, healthy and had long lives ahead of them.

just so sad.

This is very interesting to me because I recently had this discussion with my sister.

She has attempted suicide twice.

I have attempted suicide twice.

My ex husband attempted suicide at age 14.

One of my good friends from my teens overdosed on Tylenol but survived.

Another good friend committed suicide about four years ago.

Another childhood friend's brother just committed suicide about a month ago.

And there was a young boy while we were in our teens who committed suicide as well.

ALL JWs or were disfellowshipped.

NON-JWs: 3
