Good question, TotH.
In his talk, Lösch tells the following story:
Maybe you still want to advocate the possibility of going to university. You may say: "You see, Brother X went to university, and now he is serving in the congregation and is also a pioneer." True, he may have survived university, so to speak. But what follows is a true experience of a young man who suffered from a compulsive disorder which made him wash his hands over and over again, even a hundred times a day. This disorder discouraged him so much that one day he decided to commit suicide. He bought a rifle, put it in his mouth and pulled the trigger. The bullet, however, didn't kill him, but instead, perforated the part of his brain that was responsible for his compulsive disorder. He survived and after that he managed to live a normal life. Yes, it's true, he survived, but would you recommend that other people imitate what that young man did? Similarly, some have survived university, but would you recommend that to others?
Is it really a true story, or did he trawl the internet for it?
Maybe someone's already mentioned it, but there is a certain similarity with this post on the Snopes site ...
Brain Dead
Claim: Man attempting to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head inadvertently saves his own life when the bullet excises his inoperable brain tumor.
Status: False[...]
What do you think?
Was Lösch telling 'porky pies'?
