Suicide: Why do Jehovah's Witnesses have a rate far exceeding that of the general pulic?

You are not alone if you've contemplated suicide.

Like it or not, mental illness including depression resulting in suicide is a major problem with Jehovah's Witnesses.

I have long suspected JWs have a higher rate of suicide than most other groups. But I have never seen any studies or statistics that bear this out. Do you have anything to back up this claim? I sincerely would love to see it, because if there is such evidence, I would be showing it to a lot of people.

@alfredo8837 this man VAIO294 is terrible to talked to, because he is like a robot that keep on repeating things that is a lie. The Bible describe these type of people as a "clashing cymbals" monotonous tune. In 2 Tim.3:7 " a person who keep learning yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of the truth", because they are Bible basher and never dig deep in their study of the Bible to get the real meaning of the scriptures.

They don't even know the difference between the father and son!

@MrApollo254 Dude, CHILL, I'm not a jehovah's witnesse or anything like that, but you don't wish DEATH on people, that's NOT what you wish upon PEOPLE, ANYONE. DUDE there's more to PEOPLE and WHY they do the stuff they do and go through what they go through than what you THINK, you should be PRAYING(to the True God) for THEM, NOT CONDEMNING them <:O. That WASN'T COOL, NOT cool at all.

@alfredo ~ {""Do you believe the bible teaches that once saved always saved?"}

Having said that a person CAN walk away from their salvation,, NO ONE gets Eternal Life because that DON'T believe in "once saved always saved".

And NO ONE is Condemned because they DO believe in "once saved always saved".

Salvation is thru being **FORGIVEN of your SINS** by Repentance and Faith in the Blood of JESUS CHRIST.

**>>Acts 20:21 ~ *..turn to God in Repentance and have FAITH in JESUS CHRIST."

@alfredo~ {"Do you believe the bible teaches once saved always saved?"}

The Bible shows that a person CAN CHOSE to walk away from their Salvation, choosing that they no longer want JESUS.. God never takes away a persons Free Will.

Apart from a person choosing they NO LONGER want JESUS, they HAVE Eternal Life, with NO CONNECTION to the Watchtower, if they've Repented from their Sins and have their Faith and trust resting in JESUS and His SIN ATONING BLOOD as being their Forgiveness Salvation.

@VAIO294 wow . Its just a differance in translation it means the exact same thing. I can read it in a KJV ,NIV,NLT,Riena valeria,ASV, which ever the meaning is the same. Do you believe the bible teaches that once saved always saved? Do you realy believe that after someone becomes a christian they are immune to temptation and cannot fall away? What of Judas?
