New Boy I know you've mentioned a young suicide whilst you were at Bethel or shortly before?
What do u think of this story?
Regarding this thread, is it possible a Watchtower doctor could lie about cause of death on the death certificate? Surely it's not possible to claim someone who threw themselves from a high building, died of an aneurysm? To diagnose an aneurysm you need an autopsy, for an autopsy you need a coroner! (Lying to the parents would be pointless, too, because they'd see the death cert.)
It's not about would they lie (we know they would) but more to the point could they?
As to why he took his life, it could have been because he was same sex attracted. Any high up or anointed Bethelite propositioning him may have led him to question his faith, not even necessarily a GB member. Especially if it made him aware of other Bethelite relationships.
Unless a Watchtower doctor falsified his death cert & Watchtower cremated him without the correct legal documents, I can't see how this could happen?
The only thing we know for sure is that this young man tragically died from his own hand.
Dan wanted to know immediately who it was. He wouldn't tell him, said he wanted the guy to turn himself in. Which he did a couple days later.
Yeah...we don't police each other as Christians - you must turn yourself in or else!!
We need two witnesses before we can take action on any sin...unless it affects Watchtower then it's only one!
