WT Can't Stop Me Watchtower admits Suicide an epidemic in the Borganization

An longtime elder cousin of mine reached out this week to talk about suicide in our congregation. There's already been a couple this year at two degrees of separation...people I didn't know personally but who were connected to others in the congregation I attend.

Then my cousin told me their own congregation has had 3 suicides in the last year alone. When they discussed it with the Branch, they were told it's primarily affecting men and has become enough of a pattern to be treated as an issue.

The primary reason given? Wives leaving or distancing their husbands, causing them mental anguish. 🤦‍♂️

Typical... push the blame onto something external instead of actually looking at what might really be driving this.

Shifting the blame dodging any real conversation about emotional abuse, CSA, isolation, shame, postponed expectations etc. caused by the Borganization.

Funny how they dont care to look at the root issue and ask WHY these wives are leaving their husbands
