I miss Puternut

I do. Sorry to rehash sadness.

I enjoyed his posts and am sad he's gone.

Nosferatu

You're not the only one who misses him :(

Me too. I get really angry about this whole "shunning" business because as I've said in a couple of posts, I'm sure that being shunned by his daughters had something to do with his suicide. I wonder if they feel ANY guilt whatsoever about what they did, but I doubt it. I hope Putternut is in a better place than this world.

I can certainly relate to him as when my adult children found I had colon ca. they thought that they could get control of my affairs (financial) and my health care. I had to get an attorney to stop it. I never felt suicidal but was extremely depressed about it. Someday maybe his kids will realize hate and shunning is detestable.

I thought of him this week too, after hearing about the earthquake in Hawaii. Well, I know this: if there's a "better place" in the afterlife, he's there! And I hope there are palm trees.

i miss him too..

his death really brought home to me how much i care about the ex jw community online. i dont know any of you personally , i have never met any of you in real life. but we're connected by the religion and the pain being a part of it caused, and we're connected by the consequences of leaving the religion.

if ANYONE has dark days, please get help! don't choose suicide. compassion, friendship, assistance IS available. in the days after puternuts death there were help lines posted, people who post here who have experience with depression and suicide posted with offers of help. take advantage of that help!

Puternut is missed.

I didn't know Puternuts, but I can relate to the hopelessness and darkness of clinical depression.

When I left the JW religion I felt so confused and guilty. I was at the point of suicide. Death was more appealing than life. It hurt to live! I got help immediately. Friends can offer support, but there are times you need professional help and perhaps medication to get you through.

Peace be with you Puternuts. I read your postings and you offered a lot to other people.

I thought I had read all the post here. I didn't know he had commited suicide. Darn, I hate getting news like that.

Putternut's story was one I could personally relate to. He seemed a good soul. May he RIP!
