    Dear Golf, this pains me very much to read of this sadness. I hope your sister in law makes it and gets some therapy to learn it is not her that needs fixing. The poor thing needed LOVE! And she was in the wrong organization to get it! God help her to survive! And I hope she leaves the witnesses and finds some peace and happiness.

    I don't get it... if your life is THAT bad that you are willing to kill yourself. Why not take some risks first? Go skydiving, rock climbing, deep sea diving, handgliding. Worst case scenario is: You have an accident an YOU DIE. ooooh, big deal if you were planning on that anyway right?

    Move away, beat up somebody you don't like, pull some pranks, bet on the horse race, just have some fun. You could always kill yourself LATER... what's the rush?

    Golf - That is very disturbing and it is good that she has someone who can be available to her in you. I hope she does well physically and recovers emotionally. Perhaps she will find some more intensive help and healing after this. I hope the best for her and for you.

    I am sorry to hear of this tragedy. I know personally almost 10 JWs that have committed suicide and others that have attempted it. It does seem high considering most 'worldly' people I know do not know anyone that has committed suicide. The WTS is a breeding ground for guilt and that quite possibly has a detrimental affect mentally.

    Golf, I hope she survives and gets the help she needs, both from the doctors and from her family. Perhaps it would help if she knows that all of us total strangers are cheering for her complete recovery?

    Hang in there and please keep us posted on her progress.

    Hugs,

    Nina
