  Has there ever been any research conducted on JW suicide rates?

  by Scooby-Doo in

  2. medical

  ... and if so, could you provide me with a link to the results?.

  i've read on-line that the suicide rate for jws is 4x that of 'worldly' people.

  that figure doesn't sound too shocking to me, and i'd expect it to be even higher among teens... especially those who would be already considered 'at risk' even without the jw element.. but i still haven't seen any actual published statistics.

  Do you have self-esteem issues?

  by Scooby-Doo in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i have issues with my self-esteem and i recently found a video that kind of spoke to me.

  my issues aren't necessarily a result from my time with the witnesses, but i do know that perhaps many of you feel down about yourselves sometimes due to the things you have heard from the watchtower society and some jehovah's witnesses.. you get told that you aren't welcome with you're friends and families because of what you believe in and the morals that you stand for.

  the shunning practices, in my opinion, are intended to make a person believe that they are worth nothing without the love and support of the congregation.

  Jehovah's Witnesses and their hypocritical entertainment choices.

  by Scooby-Doo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the couple that i studied with were major hypocrites when it came to their entertainment choices.

  i remember the first time i was invited to their house for dinner, this was the first time that we just hung out socially, and they were playing music.

  a song came on sung by a girl group that liked to pretend they were bisexuals (or lesbians, whatever) and i thought 'hey, maybe these witnesses are pretty relaxed and cool after all'.. boy was i wrong.

  The Watchtower Org will continue to abuse and control people...

  by Scooby-Doo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ... unless we become organized as well!.

  that's the key to making the public aware of the abuse that gets swept under the rug, the way family relationships become destroyed because of shunning, the changes in doctrine throughout the years, the methods that they use to control people etc.

  the general public in most cases view the witnesses as nice, harmless weirdos.

  it was a great help in discovering the real history of the jws and helped me realize what a controlling religion (cult?

  very recently i stopped all contact with my kingdom hall and have quit my study, so i thought it was about the right time to sign up here.. i am (was) the third generation of my family to be involved with the witnesses.
