My Uncle who was an elder committed suicide when facing disfellowshipping . . . then his 4 daughters tried committing suicide afterwards (copy cat suicides).
My Uncle's grandchildren tried committing suicide afterwards. They all survived but are very messed up! My ex-husband tried when he was 13 and again when he was 28 years old . . . due to depression and shunning.
My two oldest children tried a couple of times each due to my ex-communication (upon leaving their abusive JW father), my daughter still have heart problems due to the overdose.
My ex-husband's nieces and nephew committed suicide . . . their parents left JW's but attended the meetings occasionally . . . still hanging on the fringes of the skirt of death:
Michelle left 4 small children behind,
Cory was beaten up by her boyfriend and later committed suicide (her mother who has claimed to be of the annointed didn't go to her daughters funeral),
Marisela, age, 16, was found drugged, raped, strangled and beaten in her bedroom in her mother's house (ex witness who joined a gang) . . .
Trevor, age 15, was chased by his father around his grand-parents home after an arguement . . . he ran up on the railroad tracks, walking backwards towards the train was hit and killed. It was ruled an accident. When in fact he either committed suicide or he was so upset after his father smacked him in the face, that when he was chased after and being yelled at (by a drunk reformed Ex-Witness father) . . . that he didn't even hear the train whistle blowing!? Trevor would be 33 yrs. old today if he was still alive. His grandfather who was an elder at the time, and his father . . . collected a lot of money from his death.
I became suicidal as a result of ex-communication, me AND my children being shunned (after I left an abusive JW husband), homeless 4 times and had a nervous breakdown and hospitalized 3 years ago. I have not recovered fully from it . . . will probably be on medicine for the rest of my life.
What I DO have is my life and freedom . . . many people have lost that opportunity . . . for those that are so depressed and considering committing suicide due to Jehovah's Witnesses and the trauma you have been through . . . PLEASE reconsider! Go get help . . . go to your local emergency room.
