This ex brother says about half of disfellowshipped ones are suicidal at about 43 minutes into this video https://youtube.com/watch?v=OtcDKSNf4Zo&feature=sharec
it really is that brutal having your family and friends shun you that many unfortunately do actually take their own lives including Steve Letts nephew.
No wonder the drastic change in the elders book to not have any more judicial committees if suspected it would make them suicidal.
this is probably one of the largest changes in recent history that most rank and file don’t know about yet.
how it will work in practice I just don’t know. What if someone keeps sinning but says it’s weakness not wickedness and they are suicidal? What will happen then?
