  It's a noble idea and a nice letter. In the early days, I spent many afternoons drafting letters to the governing body. I never really sent any.But they were cathartic. I realized early on that the governing body and clan are so high and mighty that the chances anybody up in the ivory towers would read past the first paragraph is slim to none.

  But you never know, if it makes you feel better , go ahead and send these letters.

  What is the current suicide and mental illness rate among JWs and previous members

  by 060702015 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there seems to be no current data on this information and there is questions concerning the validation of past data.

  apparently there is high rate of mental illness and suicide.

  jehovahs witnesses suicide rate 5 to 10 times above average.

  I am not going to give too much credence to one study, especially by Rolf Foruli. But I will say what I see around . There is plenty of mental illness among Jehovah's witnesses. In a congregation of 90 there are the following:

  3 known to have bi-polar

  1 schizophrenia

  10 + suffering with some depressive mood disorder

  I'll create my own study and say that there is just as much mental illness among the jdubs as anywhere else maybe more.

  A number of years ago , I worked in service with a circuit overseer's wife who was advocating taking anti -depressants. I think she was taking them too. She freely shared that there were many sisters in the circuit who got along with medication.

  I am so sorry Min about your mom. It's so typical of the witnesses. It's normal behavior.

  I hope you are ok. You are one of the posters I remember from way back on this board.

  Kevinly Class Activism - Brilliant!

  by konceptual99 in

  2. friends

  this is great.

  i'd love to see this at brighton in a couple of weeks.... "i'm of the kevinly class" or "praise kevin" would be a great way of letting any activist know there are those awake that know what they are doing.
