Escaping Suicide and Shunning by the Jehovah’s Witness Cult - Disfellowshipping Survival Story

As a disfellowshipped Jehovah’s Witness I have had thoughts of suicide and have suffered with extreme loneliness.

I believe this is a contributing factor as to why so many people die from suicide after disassociating themselves, getting disfellowshipped or have not been able to live up to the high standards that Jehovah’s Witnesses are expected to do. The detrimental effects of suicide on family members are normally not discussed. Instead, many focus on the person who died and what got them to the point of suicide. No one, or no organisation is held accountable for what drove a person to do such a thing. My sister and I were brought up as Jehovah’s Witnesses; I was baptised, from memory my sister was an unbaptised publisher. My solo mum, who still loves the religion more than me, will undoubtably continue her Jehovah’s Witness path until she dies. She loves Jehovah with ALL her might. One day, two Jehovah’s Witnesses knocked on her door, they left a watchtower publication, which she took out of politeness. The next week when she saw them coming up the drive, she had a cunning plan where she thought she would crouch down so they couldn’t see her. However, they caught her through the window, so she had to open the door and said she had a bad back, she couldn’t stand up and couldn’t talk at the moment! The persistence of the two Jehovah’s Witnesses who initially knocked on our door managed to strike up a Bible study with her and the rest was history. This was something our family thought was quite humorous for years. My mum was in a terrible state; her ex-husband was an alcoholic, he left us when I was 2 1/2 years of age. While we never went without, there was no doubt we were poor and mum was struggling. When a group of people showed love and compassion and gave my mother a community, she certainly jumped at the chance to become part of the world wide brotherhood. I have various memories of my real father, Bruce Charlesworth. I remember him walking through the front door and breaking all the glass, this was after coming home drunk from the pub one night. Shortly after, my mum and he divorced. I recall him visiting once and giving me a stuffed Basil Brush toy and pushing it in my face saying, “Boom Boom”. I met my father again when I was 14 years of age when he came down from the North Island to attend my brother’s wedding. Ironically, he had the same sense of humour as myself. When I started travelling New Zealand, I thought I would call-in and see my father at the age of 23, he wanted to give me a gift, it was a piece of paper with a whole lot of usernames and passwords to porn sites. This was the biggest impression my father ever gave me as a dad, other than of having flashbacks of “boom boom”. Bruce Charlesworth smoke and he drunk himself to death, having lung cancer at the age of 53. A week before he died, he sent me an email disowning himself as my father, telling me that my mother had a bastard child, just when you thought it couldn’t get any more loving. I hope you can empathise with me as this is truly one of the most personal experiences to publicly post on my BLOG, broadcast on the WHAT: DE HEK PODCAST and stream on my YOUTUBE channel ‘but what the Hek’. https://www.dehek.com/general/health-...
